A Quantitative Method for Evaluation of Websites Quality using WebQEM Tool

The rapid growth of web applications increases the need to evaluate web applications quantitatively. In the past few years some valuable works like WebQEM (Web Quality Evaluation Method) tried to objectively evaluate the web applications. However, still weighting web attributes which is one step of evaluation of web applications is completely subjective, depending mostly on experts’ judgments. In this paper, a quantitative evaluation WebQEM strategy is discussed to access the quality of web sites and applications (WebApps). The methodology is useful to systematically assess characteristics, sub-characteristics and attributes that influence product quality. We show that the implementation of the evaluation yields global, partial and elementary quality indicators that can help different stakeholders in understanding and improving the assessed product.
