Measuring quality metrics for web applications

This paper makes an attempt to propose a framework for measuring quality attributes of web-based application systems. Web-based quality properties are referred to as non-functional properties of web applications such as performance, maintainability, security, usability, portability, and so on. This paper is particularly interested in two major quality attributes: usability from the users point of view; and maintainability for the developer. The diverse nature of web applications makes it difficult to measure these using existing quality measurement models. Web applications often use large numbers of reusable components which make traditional measurement models less relevant
