Theoretical validation of quality metrics of Indian e-commerce domain

The validation of software metrics faces some degree of fuzziness in measure definitions, properties, and underlying assumptions, making the use of the measures difficult, their interpretation hazardous, and the results of the various validation studies somewhat contradictory. These characteristics do not imply that progress cannot be made in the measurement field. For this purpose metrics must be defined in a methodological and disciplined way and should be validated for their authenticity. This paper gives a systematic study for of validation of software metrics and uses the same for validation of the quality metrics of e-commerce based Web-applications.
