-Software should deliver the required functionality and performance to the user and should be maintainable, dependable and acceptable. -Maintainability -Software must evolve to meet changing need. -Dependability -Software must trustworthy -Efficiency -Software should not make wasteful use of system resources. -Acceptability -Software must accepted by the users for which it was designed. This means it must be understandable, usable and compatible with other systems.
Because maintenance is the most expensive part of the life cycle

essential and important attributes that every software product must contain are the following: 1) maintainability 2)dependiabilty 3) efficiency 4) usabilty
important attributes are maintainability, dependability, performance and usability. Other attributes that may be significant could be reusability (can it be reused in other applications), distributability (can it be distributed over a network of processors), portability (can it operate on multiple platforms) and inter-operability (can it work with a wide range of other software systems). Decompositions of the 4 key attributes e.g. dependability decomposes to security, safety, availability, etc.
third maintainability
As per my understanding the Suitability Criteria can be defined as Accessability of application, Usability, Maintainability and so on.
Attribute of a product or services
The product of software engineering is software.
A product characteristic is an attribute or property of the product that describes the product's ability to satisfy its purpose in a larger system.
