DSQI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


DSQI is an architectural design metric used to evaluate a program's design structure and the efficiency of its modules.

Developed by the U.S. Air Force Systems Command it is based on measurable design characteristics of a computer program and uses information obtained from data and architectural design

The result of DSQI calculations is a number between 0 and 1. The closer this is to 1, the higher the quality. It is best used on a comparison basis, i.e., with previous successful projects. If the value is too low, more design work should be done.
