We analyze several mechanisms leading to errors in a course of measurement of a superconducting flux-biased phase qubit. Insufficiently long measurement pulse may lead to nonadiabatic transitions between qubit states $|1>$ and $|0>$, before tunneling through a reduced barrier is supposed to distinguish the qubit states. Finite (though large) ratio of tunneling rates for these states leads to incomplete discrimination between $|1>$ and $|0>$. Insufficiently fast energy relaxation after the tunneling of state $|1>$ may cause the repopulation of the quantum well in which only the state $|0>$ is supposed to remain. We analyze these types of measurement errors using analytical approaches as well as numerical solution of the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation.
