            McCabe’s Cyclomatic complexity quantifies the upper bound of the number of independent paths in a program, which is perceived as complexity of the program or its modules. It is represented in terms of graph theory concepts by using control flow graph
.
· Quality Metrics –
             Defects, their types and causes, consequence, intensity of severity and their implications define the quality of product. The number of defects found in development process and number of defects reported by the client after the product is installed or delivered at client-end, define quality of product.

· Process Metrics –
            In various phases of SDLC, the methods and tools used, the company standards and the performance of development are software process metrics.
