Abstract
In this paper we have investigated the unified process workflow from analysis and design perspectives of software development life cycle. There are particular well defined roles to perform the life cycle activities. All these activities are streamed up in a typical capability pattern called workflow. When these activities are performed we need some artifacts as inputs. After the activities are done we receive some output artifacts. We have developed software process and software artifact metrics for the major artifacts and process of analysis and design workflow. We have suggested some metrics pertaining to the input and output artifacts. The metrics that we developed are for analysis and design process, software architecture document artifact, and design model artifact. Also we investigated how to quantify the artifact checklist items and make a decision about the quality for different attributes of the process and artifacts, and finally deciding upon the overall quality.
