Modular Web Framework: Software Automation

The use of software is an integral part of any organization. Software applications, including web applications, must evolve quickly. By dividing a web application into independent components, we are developing a framework that gives developers a set of generic functionalities which can be integrated to fulfill specific requirements. Our research involves both developing the framework and comparing the similarities and differences with other well-known frameworks that support the development of a webapplication. Modular Web Framework (MWF) is a framework which also supports extension of its functionality for future requirements. MWF enables developers to automate three components of a web application: 1) a web-based interface, 2) a specification-based process, and 3) database manipulation.
