Abstract
One of the most significant key factors in the development of high Quality products is represented by the ability to correctly evaluate them before putting on the market. Bearing this in mind, the paper discusses the results of a two year research work aimed at the development of design tools for the measurement of the quality level of products in design stages. After brief discussion about the definition of Quality and its conception from different perspectives, the analysis of a measurement ratio based on the evaluation of indicators concerning the most significant properties of products was carried out throughout the development of an original software tool for the application of such criteria.
