There are different metrics and statistics to evaluate the quality of assembly. To have a general idea about them, I would suggest you to read these two threads:

• How To Assess The Quality Of An Assembly? (Is There No Magic Formula?)
• Assessing The Quality Of De Novo Assembled Data

Hope it helps.
