Abstract
Software quality measurement is the key factor in the development of any software system. Various software quality models are devised to measure the performance of a software system, which consists of numerous quality parameters on the basis of which software are quantified. Different types of software quality models are already present like an ISO/IEC9126 Quality model, Boehm's model, McCall's model, etc. In this paper, an attempt has been made to increase the quality of a software system by introducing some new quality parameters in ISO/IEC9126 model. Since the quality parameters are very unpredictable in nature, so as to evaluate the performance of quality parameters, the fuzzy multi criteria approach has been used.
