Delivering high quality web applications complying with severe project delivery time constraints is still an elusive goal for a software process. In many software projects, development teams often resort to "short cuts" in the software development process avoiding recommended software process disciplines to speed up delivery. The usual side-effects of this ad-hoc approach are low software quali...

The effective management of the software development process has become an essential for business survival in an ever more competitive industry. In order to gain business strengths from the development process, organizations need to carry out software development in the most efficient manner possible, avoiding redundancy and time losses. This paper presents an architecture which combines the st...

Internet and World Wide Web appearance in people ́s life has lead to a significant change in their habits, leading to a new situation that must be faced up by the software community. Now, previous acting forms in software assurance are not yet viable leading to a development of applications that has not been accompanied by the needed mechanism to guarantee the systems quality. This lack of guara...

This study in progress presents a grounded theory analysis of a case study in the banking industry with a view to showing the role of “Web services” technology in information systems development practices. The case study relates to the implementation in the Central Europe Bank (a pseudonym) of a new software application based on Web services technology. In particular, the focus is on the follow...

This paper aims to discuss the pilot study and analysis of the current development and measurement practices in Jordanian small software firms. It is conducted because most developers build web applications without using any specific development method and don’t know how to integrate the suitable measurements inside the process to improve and reduce defect, time and rework of the development li...

The advent of the World Wide Web not only fundamentally changes the way we do things, it also greatly changes how computer software are built. While this profound evolution of software development has caused many in the software industry to change their way of developing software, it has not caused many in the academics to change their way of teaching computing. This paper describes the evoluti...

Introduction Web sites are developed by a wide variety of companies from small one or two person operations to large corporations with entire teams and departments devoted to web development work. Many of the smaller companies have no usability professionals to help with the design of their sites; many of the companies don’t even realize they should have usability professionals assess their sit...

The nature of Web system development is significantly different from conventional software development. Amongst other factors, there is substantial uncertainty in both clients’ understanding of their needs and developers’ understanding of the system domain. We discuss these differences and the impact that they have on the development processes that are adopted for commercial Web systems.

We briefly describe a system for forms-based, workflow management that helps members of a software development team overcome geographical barriers to collaboration. Our system, called the Web Integrated Software Environment (WISE), is implemented as a World-Wide-Web service that allows for management and measurement of software development projects based on dynamic analysis of change activity i...
