A Lifecycle Model for Web-based Application Development: Incorporating Agile and Plan-driven Methodology

Abstract

For conventional software development, generic software engineering lifecycle model has proven to be very important. Though, with the evolution of Web-based applications and internet, conventional software engineering models have limited support for developing Web-based applications. In recent years Web-based applications have become more complex and new technologies are emerging at a rapid pace. Therefore, the conventional software engineering lifecycle models need to be reformed in such a way that handling the change requirements and complexity of Web-based development becomes convenient for conventional developers. However, there is a lack of any generic process model available for Web-based applications. The paper identifies and analyzes various aspects of conventional and Web-based development and proposes a lifecycle model, which incorporates the aspects of agile and plan-driven development to develop a Web-based application successfully.
