Abstract: The Software system keeps growing in magnitude, making it increasingly difficult to comprehend and handle. Software metrics are evaluation units of the software. Software metrics provide a quantitative framework for forecasting and preparing the software's entire process.Thus qualifying software is enhanced and can be regulated beyond challenge.Software metrics have been described as a technique of quantification of characteristics in software procedures, product lines and initiatives.Software metrics has a direct link in software development to measurement.Proper calculation is the typical situation in any engineering area and software development is no exemption, as device volume and complexity grows, software technical analysis becomes a more challenging task.Many software developers are concerned about the reliability of the software, how its performance can be evaluated and improved.The paper presents a summary of the different software quality metrics used in the software development and the paper also emphasizes on the need for software metrics and its relation to software quality
