Abstract
Software quality is a complex term. Various researchers have various different views for defining it. One common point in all is that quality is required and is indispensable. It should not only be able to meet the customer requirements but should exceed it. Customers not only mean the external customers but the internal ones too. Performance efficiency characteristic is one of the vital software quality characteristics. If we improve the performance efficiency, then it will definitely have a positive effect on the software quality. In this paper, we have identified various sub-characteristics that can affect the performance efficiency of the software and proposed a performance efficiency model. We assessed the performance efficiency of the software systems by using one of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods, namely analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Results suggest that the proposed model is consistent and may be used for comparing the software system.
