9. Quality How can build quality be measured?
Build quality is not an easily or objectively defined concept but it refers, generally speaking, to how well designed and constructed the product actually is from a subjective point of view. This includes factors such as reliability, sturdiness, fit and finish (if the product appears smoothly made and polished or is rough and ready), quality of materials and so on.
For example a cheap MP3 might have buttons which feel rough and gritty when it pressed. A better MP3 might have a a touch screen or soft touch buttons.
