ware metrics. The criterion that can be used to select software metrics is that the selected
software metrics must capture all the constructs, be widely used in the literature, easily
understood, fast to compute, and computationally less expensive. The choice of metric
suite heavily depends on the goals of the research. For instance, in quality model pre-
