Software quality is one of the pivotal aspects of the software development industry which ensures product compliance to the requirement specification and standards. Conventional software development was mostly related with building desktop applications. The past decade has seen a proliferation of a rchitectures, frameworks, and languages in software development. Software methodologies have shifted from building monolithic standalone applications to service-oriented, metric-driven, collaborative agile-based development of Web-based software. The work presented in this paper expounds the evident shift of quality models for conventional software to web-based software. It further suggests a π-model representation for quality criterion relationship interpretation for both types of software. The horizontal line of the π signifies the backbone of quality models with quality assessment parameters common to both kind of software whereas the two vertical pillars of the π depict the quality attributes specific to the software type. A comparison of some of the most prominent, free and open source web product performance tools is also presented.
