Abstract: Different authors propose different models and methods to define and estimate software quality. From these models and methods, we can conclude that quality of software depends upon number of attributes and their sub-attributes. But very little or less effort has been devoted to evaluate the contribution of these attributes to the quality of a software product. Therefore, this study proposes the implementation of ISO 9126 quality model along with Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to develop a framework for the ranking of different quality attributes in order to evaluate the contribution of these attribute of software to the quality of software product.
Keywords: Quality Attributes, FAHP, Linguistic Variables, Crisp Score, Fuzzy Numbers.
