What is website quality?

There are thousands of websites launched every year and nothing is worse than a
poorly operating website. Website testing is most important to e-commerce sites since
they have applications running on the website that may affect their sales or operations. So
how should websites be tested? What are the measures of quality? Here are some of the
measures of quality according to Miller:
1. Timeliness – WebPages have to be upgraded constantly. When was it last
upgraded? How consistent is it to today’s news or information?
2. Structural Quality – All the parts of the website have to be working well. Are all
the links (inside or outside) working? Are all the images loading?
3. Content – This does not only concern spell checking, proofreading but also the
consistency of the contents with either all of the other pages or with the request of
the user, especially with dynamic web pages. Does the content of critical pages
match what is supposed to be there? Do key phrases exist continually in highlychangeable
pages? Do critical pages maintain quality content from version to
version?
