“…As compared to Pressman's evolutionary model that can be applied to a real‐life situation, Scharl2 takes a scientific approach to achieve objective in quantifiable terms. He states that engineering in the context of the World Wide Web denotes a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable application of scientific knowledge (i.e., methods, tools, and technical concepts) to development, deployment, operation, and maintenance of Web information systems that meet a particular set of technical, economic, and social objectives3, 4, 5, 6. None of the models has specified risk analysis as an objective of Web‐based systems.…”

Since 1997, interest in Web engineering has been growing and will continue to grow as Web‐based systems become critical elements in a large number of applications. Web engineering is specifically targeted toward the design, analysis, implementation and other aspects of successful development and deployment of large, complex Web‐based systems. JUDITH MYERSON assesses the tools and models in current use. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…This is due to the nature of the tools, languages, skills of the developers and the dynamic nature of the Web environment. Apart from the purely technical skills such as network computing and performance, distributed computing and databases, learners should be trained on new standards and tools relating to the Web, new programming languages, Web site and application development process models [Deshpande et al 1999]. …”

Web engineering: new discipline, new educational challenges

The WWW has turned into a development and run-time environment for large-scale and complex applications. Such sophisticated applications are being deployed in increasing numbers without having been developed according to appropriate methodologies and quality standards. The main reason for this ad hoc development philosophy is the lack of specialised training/education on the web engineering subject domain. This domain/discipline is new, still immature and has recently started getting the attention of researchers, developers, and other major players in the web-based application development market and training market. There is now justifiable and increasing concern about the manner in which students and lifelong learners are well educated and trained in this new discipline. It's also only one year ago that few universities have started providing special courses on this discipline and offer seminars to lifelong learners. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) decided to tackle the didactic need on this subject field, by offering to its postgraduate students one semester course called "Internet Publishing". In this paper an overview of the course, its web-enriched delivery method as well as the quantitative and qualitative results extracted after an evaluation study which occurred during the autumn semester 1999-2000, are presented.

“…Keeping this practice in mind, it is no surprise that a survey done by the Cutter Consortium [7] found out that the top problem areas of large-scale Web application projects were the failure to meet business needs (84%), project schedule delays (79%), budget overrun (63%), lack of required functionality (53%), and poor quality of deliverables (52%). The current situation of ad hoc 1 development of Web applications reminds us of the software development practices of the 1960s, before it was realized that the development of applications required more than programming expertise [8,9,28]. Now, the problems seem to be the same, so are the solutions the same, too?…”

Abstract. Modern Web applications are full-fledged, complex software systems. Therefore, the development of Web applications requires a methodologically sound engineering approach called Web Engineering. It is not clear, however, to which extent existing solutions from relevant areas, most notably software engineering can be reused as such for the development of Web applications and consequently, if Web Engineering is really a discipline on its own. This paper highlights the characteristics of Web application development as found in existing literature thus providing a prerequisite for analyzing the appropriateness of existing engineering solutions. The characteristics are categorized according to four dimensions, comprising the software product itself, its development, its use and evolution as a cross-cutting concern.
