Quality Metrics for Internet Applications: Developing "New" from "Old"

This discussion concerns ´metrics´. More specifically, we discuss quantitative metrics for evaluating Internet applications: what should we quantify, monitor and analyse in order to characterise, evaluate and develop Internet applications based on reusing existing Internet applications,which is widely available in the Internet. Due to the distinctive evolution nature of Internet applications, assessing quality of software will provide ease and higher accuracy for Web developers. However, there is a great gap between the rapid development of Internet applications and the slow speed of developing corresponding metric measures. To tackle this issue, we look into measuring the quality of Internet applications and enable Web developers to enhance the quality of their programs and identify reusable components from Internet-based resources.
