In order to develop high quality software, software metrics have been made to assess the quality of software, and recently, many object-oriented metrics have been suggested for this purpose as well. However, research on the utilization of metrics to control software quality in a development process has been inadequate. This is due to the difficulty in assessing the significance of metrics in a software development process from the perspective of overall software quality. In this paper, we propose a method of applying metrics to a development process using the Hierarchical Software Quality Model(H-SQM) which is defined in terms of the products' special features. The method represents the H-SQM as the cause-and-effect diagram and changes the diagram to the process-analysis diagram. And it applies software quality metrics to each development stage by the process-analysis diagram. In this way, we could utilize the software quality metrics efficiently in order to improve the quality of software in the software development process.
