Title

Acronym METROlogy of the Web
Duration 1999-2002
Funding First Université, DGTRE, Ministery of Walloon Region
Goals METROWEB consists of both a method and a web-distributed tool to manage multiple guidelines bases towards evaluation of web sites. The method supports web usability evaluation by structuring and distributing web usability knowledge (guidelines, use of evaluation tools and methods). The web site evaluation is based on heuristic inspection. The MetroWeb tool supports also the organizational process of creating a corporate-level guidelines base, including definition, reviewing, modifying, validating, and final acceptance.
