Software Metric Software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications. Since quantitative measurements are essential in all sciences‚ there is a continuous effort by computer science practitioners and theoreticians to bring similar approaches to software development. The goal is obtaining objective‚ reproducible and quantifiable measurements‚ which may have numerous valuable applications in schedule and budget planning‚ cost estimation‚ quality assurance testing

Custom software (also known as bespoke software) is software that is specially developed for some specific organization or other user. As such‚ it can be contrasted with the use of software packages developed for the mass market‚ such as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software‚ or existing free software. Custom software can be developed by an in-house software development group‚ or be commissioned from a software house or independent software developer. Since custom software is developed for
