Anymisfunctionality or bugs in unreliable software could hide and it may cause problem and make costeven takes lives. Connectivity and complexity are common in software production today and thesefactors make assuring and certifying software big challenge that needs more money and time. In thispaper, security and software certification and assurance have been considered and metrics which areused in this subject will cover and some techniques that reduce the effort of software evaluation willconsider more.
