This paper suggests a method of comparing the actual rate of software development with the projected or targeted rate. A working function may be devised from past experiences and results that would give the projected or the expected rate of software development. Then using the methods given here, the actual rate of software development can be calculated at a particular stage of work and the required comparisons can be made. On the basis of the results of comparisons made in this manner, decisions can be taken to improve the quality by increasing the quantity or quality of manpower in order to achieve the quality target within the stipulated time. In order to obtain the graphical representation of data, we have used Microsoft office 2007 graphical chart. Which facilitate easy simulation of change in software quality at a particular stage of software development.
