“…It defines a set of parameters with the objective of standardizing the evaluation of software quality, assuming a fundamental role in the evaluation of the quality of Web applications. According to ISO 9126, six quality characteristics should be offered by software applications [20] : (i) functionality, implementation of the functional requirements specified by the customer; (ii) reliability, capability of software to maintain its performance level under given conditions of time; (iii) usability, the ease with people employ a tool or use an application to perform a task; (iv) efficiency, the relationship between the level of performance of the software and the amount of resource used under stated conditions; (v) maintainability, the effort needed to make specified modifications; and (v) portability, the ability of the software to be transformed from one environment to another. In the context of this project the sub-categories of these six groups proposed by ISO 9126 were not being exhaustively addressed and tested.…”

Universities have assumed an increasingly important role in transferring technology to society with a strong economic impact. The companies originated from the academic environment, called academic spin-offs, have fostered the appearance of new projects based on emerging technologies and knowledge, created by young students and researchers who seek to launch their own business and generate new jobs in society. However, the number of existing studies on academic spin-offs is limited and restricted to the specific national realities, and the results of these studies are typically incorporated only in scientific manuscripts. In this sense, this study proposes a web platform that allows the analysis of academic spin-offs according to multiple dimensions, such as firm, institutions, individual, localization, science parks, financial data and corporate actions. The application is built exclusively in open source technologies and allows data to be explored in real-time and interactively. The results obtained allow us to evaluate the behavior of the application regarding fundamental elements in the success of the adoption of a Web application, such as usability, security, interoperability and portability.

“…It involves improving and testing the content while comparing the results achieved with the content provider's expectation. Maintainability and portability [52] are two dimensions that play a vital role especially when involving internal quality factors. Finally, the Live phase assures the content is ready to be accessed by any MOOC users.…”

With the philosophy of providing open education to all, Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), which introduced in 2006, has been through its first decade. Despite its popularity and worldwide acceptance, MOOC faces a few criticisms about the weaknesses of its content such as lack of clarity, unstructured, poor design and lack of fundamental initial requirements. This caused by the paucity of understanding among content providers about the facet of qualities contributes to the content. There are some previous efforts to improve the quality of MOOCs, but none focused on the content from the content providers or experts' view. As a result, most of the vital internal quality factors are neglected. Besides, the operational definition for the MOOC content quality factors is still missing or not well-defined. Therefore, this research proposes a quality model for MOOC web content as a content provider's reference to develop quality MOOC content. In order to achieve that, three basic elements were implemented which is the content's provider perspective, MOOC content quality dimensions and MOOC content quality factors. Development of MOOC content quality dimension is based on 7C's model and PDCA for continuity, while the determination of factors involves the process like a revision of the possible factors from literature, factors combination and categorization. This proposed hierarchical model tends to make MOOC's learning more optimistic and beneficial to the learners through the development of high-quality content.

“…Evaluation of a software artifact is a challenging task and requires incorporating both subjective and objective evaluation. But Researchers (Nabil et al, 2011) have found that a software artifact can be assured and measured when it is breakdown into measurable constructs [50]. According to the ISO standard on quality models (ISO/IEC 25010:2011), the main purpose of software quality evaluation is to provide quantitative reference for software products evaluation.…”
