BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
-------------------------
The growing demand of quality software has made the quality become a discriminative factor among software products, and therefore a key aspect for software success. Technological advances and the use of Internet have encouraged the appearance of a wide variety of Web applications. As a result, over the past decade the number of organizations that have used Web applications has grown dramatically. Thus, it is necessary to carefully asses, define, and use the several dimensions that describe the quality of Web applications.
We want to promote all areas related to the quality of web applications with the first edition of this workshop, by giving to researchers the opportunity of sharing their works and providing a forum to discuss the various aspects of Web quality and the development of quality applications and services. Moreover, we hope to identify possible future lines during the workshop related to the discussed topics.
