Development methods contain heuristics and constraints that help in producing good quality products. Whereas CASE tools enforce method constraints, they rarely support heuristic checking. This paper develops a generic quality model, capable of handling both method constraints and heuristics, which forms the basis of a uniform mechanism for building quality products. The model is metric based, hierarchical in nature, and links metrics to the developmental decisions that are available in a method. The use of this model and the associated quality assessment process is demonstrated through an example of the Yourdon method.
