User-perceived software quality is subjective, and thus difficult to be measured. Its importance however in user-centric, web-based systems such as e-commerce systems is huge. How can one measure the subjective? Metrics are one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal for measuring quality. For such a weapon to be put in good use, guidelines for use should be available.
