Assessing quality of a web site is most important especially because people world over are dependent on the quality of the content hosted on the WEB site for various purposes. Every aspect that reflects the quality of the WEB site must be considered so that the WEB site is used by many relevant users and the content is straight away used for various purposes. The content is hosted on the WEB is accepted and used by the users without any doubt. Many factors are to be considered for assessing the quality of the WEB sites. There as many as 42 factors such as look and feel, ease of navigation, structure, quality of content, quality of mullti-media etc. that needs to be considered for assessing overall quality of a WEB site. “Completeness” is one such factor. Completeness is all about total availability of the data related to a specific context that the user is pursuing. An incomplete WEB site will be unused and eventually gets out of the ambit of search engines and also the users loose interest in such web sites. Every quality factor must be assessed independently by using a model and all the models of all the factors must be combined to reflect the overall quality of the WEB site. Every quality factors can be expressed in terms of some sub-factors, the quality of which must be individually computed and combined to arrive at quality value of the Factor. This paper is primarily focused on presenting a model using which the quality assessment of a web site can be made considering the factor called “Completeness” which is one of the factors that should be considered for computing the quality of the WEB sites. There can be much of the disconnected in the content hosted on the web site such as missing href, columns in the tables and forms. The more the disconnectedness in the content that is hosted on the WEB site, the less the quality, as the information hosted on the WEB site is incomplete and less connected.

This chapter is the result of a two years effort to design a template aiming at standardizing, as much as such a task is feasible, the evaluation of Web sites. It is the product of a few publications in international conferences and journals. A thorough review of the international literature on the subject led the authors to conclude there is a very large number of opinions, thoughts and criteria from different professionals involved, directly or indirectly, with the process of designing a good Web site. To make matters even more complicated there are a number of different terms used by various scholars, scientists and professionals around the world that often refer to similar, if not the same, attributes of a Web site. However, it seems that all these differences could boil down to a systematic approach, here called evaluation template, of 53 points that the design strategies of the Web sites should be checked against. This template was tested on a significant number (232) of Web sites of Greek companies and proved it can be used to evaluate the quality of Web sites not only by technology experts but by non-experts alike. The evaluation template, suggested here, is by no means the solution to the problem of standardizing the process of evaluating a Web site but looking at other work done on the subject worldwide it is a step ahead.

Quality In Use

The consistent modeling of quality requirements for Web sites and applications at different stages of the life cycle is still a challenge to most Web engineering researchers and practitioners. In the present chapter, we propose an integrated approach to specify quality requirements to Web sites and applications. By extending the ISO 9126-1 quality views characteristics, we discuss how to model internal, external quality, and quality in use views taking into account not only the software features, but also the own characteristics of Web applications. Particularly, we thoroughly analyze the modeling of the content characteristic for evaluating the quality of information–so critical for the whole Web application eras. The resulting model represents a first step towards a multi-dimensional integrated approach to evaluate Web sites at different lifecycle stages.

Information dissemination is taking place these days heavily using web sites which are hosted on the internet. The effectiveness and effi-ciency of the design of the WEB site will have great effect on the way the content hosted on the WEB can be accessed. Quality of a web site, places a vital role in making available the required information to the end user with ease satisfying the users content requirements. A framework has been proposed comprising 42 quality metrics using which the quality of a web site can be measured. Howevercompu-tations procedures have not been stated in realistic terms.In this paper, computational procedures for measuring “usability” of a WEB site can be measured which can be included into overall computation of the quality of a web site.

Information dissemination is taking place extensively through WEB and use of internet.  The quality and reliability of the information hosted on the WEB is questionable.  Many factors are to be considered for assessing the quality of the WEB sites. The Information hosted on the WEB would become valuable only when top quality of the same is maintained. Each quality factor can have many dimensions. There should be a mechanism of computing the quality of a web site quantitatively so that quality of a web site can be realistically measured.  Any subjective or objective way of measuring quality is questionable and can be prejudiced at times. Every factor as such must be measured the entire quality of a web site must be measured considering all the factors. One can develop a norm for quality of a factor and any deviation from the norm needs to be rectified and controlled.Among other factors quality of the content hosted on the WEB plays vital role. In this paper the computational method which can be used for computing the quality of a web site is presented considering all the dimensions of   content related quality factor.

This paper aims to describe a sample of community translation: the web site Lyrics Translate.com, which offers translation for lyrics. Community translation consists of the translation of a large volume of content due to the collaboration of a group of amateur translators in Internet and it is characterized by the lack of a professional who guarantees the quality of the final product. The power and reach of amateur translation is surprising. The willingness of translators to work on a project without direct financial compensation is a widespread reality. Translators are motivated by recognition from the community, a sense of accomplishment that comes from improving as a translator and from enjoyment of the material they’re translating. Using French translations into Spanish language from the web site Lyrics Translate.com, we analyze their performance and the way in which users accomplish the task of translation. With this purpose, we will address some questions such as who are the translators, why they do that, the working languages and, specially, the quality of the translated material. Little attention has been paid to this newborn phenomenon of web sites offering translations carried out by amateur translators. However, these virtual communities around translation are widely spread in the cyberspace and, what is more, these new translating practices have already become a challenge for the future of translation professional work.

The whole world is looking for information through web sites. Many search engines have come up to help the users locate the content that they are looking for. User satisfaction is most important to ensure frequent visiting and extensive usage of the web site. The user satisfaction is very much dependent on the kind of navigation designed into the web site. The quality of a WEB site is very much dependent on the kind navigation designed into the system. The ease of use could be affected through simple but effective implementation of the navigational system into the WEB site.Quality of a WEB site is the key for establishing effective web sites thereby enhance the businesses. Many factors are to be considered for evaluating the quality of the web sits one such factor is “Navigation”. Computing the quality of a web site on computational basis is the key to be able to assess the quality of web sites realistically.In this paper, a computational method for computing the quality of the WEB site considering the Navigation built into the WEB site is presented.
