The paper compares the models used for software quality evaluation to the modelling approach of other engineering fields. The conclusion is that, while large efforts have been devoted to the definition of measurable attributes and related measures, product models specifically developed for measuring quality characteristics are until now not sufficiently explored. We explore the concept of "quality-oriented specialized product models" and we claim that this is an important ingredient for an engineering approach to the software quality measurement. We describe an example of this type of models for measuring the security of a specific type of copy protection mechanisms. The model forecasts the amount of time a hypothetical attacker would need to break the protection.
