4 Implementing the quality<br />
evaluation framework<br />
The evaluation process is done by using<br />
small, controlled and well-planned experiments<br />
[22] , used the students <strong>of</strong> MCA and also other<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware pr<strong>of</strong>essionals working with the<br />
companies <strong>of</strong> international repute. They have<br />
been given a list <strong>of</strong> on-line shopping <strong>Indian</strong><br />
web-<strong>sites</strong> and were provided the evaluation<br />
scale for each metric. After evaluating the data<br />
<strong>of</strong> selected web-<strong>sites</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> e-<strong>commerce</strong><br />
domain, an evaluation model has been selected.<br />
We have selected non-linear multi-scoring<br />
criteria model. The evaluation process is based<br />
on Logic Score <strong>of</strong> Preferences LSP[23,24] and<br />
Continuous Preference Logic as mathematical<br />
background. This can be achieved by means <strong>of</strong> a<br />
preference aggregation function, called<br />
generalized conjunction /disjunction or andor,<br />
combining weighted power means to obtain the<br />
Global <strong>Quality</strong> Preference. After evaluating the<br />
factors <strong>of</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> the selected web-<strong>sites</strong><br />
Global <strong>Quality</strong> Preference is being calculated.<br />

5 Results and discussion<br />
In this work, we have presented the design<br />
and implementation <strong>of</strong> a systematic and<br />
quantitative engineering-based evaluation<br />
method for web-applications. The block<br />
diagram given in Figure 3 shows the quality<br />
factors along with their weights in Global<br />
<strong>Quality</strong> Preference <strong>of</strong> the web-site. It is expected<br />
that organizations need to define their own<br />
quality factors, criteria and metrics specific to<br />
their system context. In future, we suggest<br />
creation <strong>of</strong> a knowledge base <strong>of</strong> web-based<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware’s quality factors, criteria, and metrics.<br />
S<strong>of</strong>tware pr<strong>of</strong>essionals can then make use <strong>of</strong><br />
already defined model that suits them or find<br />
the closest model and modify it according to<br />
their needs. We have evaluated the web-site <strong>of</strong><br />
ebay http://www.ebay.in and the results are<br />
shown in Table 2. We further wish to evaluate<br />
other selected <strong>Indian</strong> e-<strong>commerce</strong> based web<strong>sites</strong><br />
to calculate their Global <strong>Quality</strong><br />
Preference, in order to rank these web-<strong>sites</strong><br />
according to their quality.
