What is SQM?
Software Quality Metrics (SQM), also known as the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program, is a set of anonymous data that can be sent back to Microsoft for the purpose of understanding what features of a product our customers are using. By examining this data, product teams can make decisions on where to fund future work.
