Web-based application development: a software engineering approach

ABSTRACT

In contrast to the construction of centralised software systems which relies on a well established approach, there is a lack of a proven methodology that guides software engineers in building web-based applications. The focus is still on technology rather than analysis and design issues. However, just as the focus in software engineering shifted from programming to process thirty years ago, the focus with web-based construction must shift from technical issues to the development process. This paper describes a software engineering methodology for developing web-based applications motivated by pedagogical and pragmatic considerations.
