Evidence-Based Web Engineering (WE) is necessary in order to (1) help industry practitioners in making rational decisions about technology adoption and (2) increase the acceptability of WE methodologies. Particularly, empirical data should be provided to support traditional WE claims such as increased productivity or better quality of the applications deployed using a WE methodology. Unfortunately the WE community is not yet familiar with either systematic quality evaluation issues or empirical research, and therefore tools and guidelines to ease this shift are necessary. In this paper we extend the traditional WE Development Process with quality evaluation and assurance activities that are compliant with the ISO/IEC 14598 set of standards and guarantee that Web applications developed with WE approaches fulfill certain quality criteria. This extension follows the MDA paradigm in order to ensure that the development productivity is not hampered by the additional focus on quality aspects.
