There are three general views on quality:1) Meets or exceeds requirements.2) Generates customer satisfaction.3) Comparitively high on the "ilities" ...reliability, functionality, testability, portability, performance, maintainability, etc.#1 is the easiest to measure and #3 the hardest.Though some subscribe to one of these definitions over the others, I personally think their respective usefullness is dependant on the product and the situation.1) If you are building a space shuttle or a pacemaker, probably #1 is the best (assuming the requirements are perfect).2) If you are creating a new brand of ice cream, probably #2 is best.3) If you are creating a new cutting edge product it probably makes sense to think through the illities list in detail.And often it makes sense to at least think about all 3.The definition of quality has nothing to do with time to market or cost however (though quality processes produce a higher quality product). A Mercedes takes longer to make/design and cost more than a Yugo, but no one would argue the Yugo has higher quality.

Quality has many definitions depending on its context.  I will define quality as it pertains to the characteristics of software.

Quality refers to the extent that a software product or service satisfies its customers' needs.
