Web application development has certain characteristics that produce it different from either traditional computer software, data system, or even computer application development.

Web engineering is multidisciplinary & encompasses contributions from either diverse areas: systems analysis & task, software package engineering, hypermedia/hypertext engineering, requirements engineering, individual-computer interaction, interface, references engineering, facts indexing & retrieval, researching, modelling & simulation, project management, & graphic project & presentation.

Web engineering is non the clone or even non the subset of package engineering, although two require programming & computer software development. When Web Engineering utilizes computer software engineering information, it encompasses newly approaches, methodologies, information, techniques, & guidelines to meet a unique requirements of Web-depending.

For an introduction to Web engineering, understand "Web Engineering: Introduction and Perspectives" by San Murugesan & Athula Ginige, Chapter One around "Web Engineering: Principles and Techniques" (Suh, W. ed.), Idea Class action Publishing, 2005. http://www.idea-class action.com/downloads/excerpts/01%20Suh.pdf

Independent topics of Web engineering include, however are non limited to, a as a result areas: Business Processes for Applications on the Web Outbreak Information for Web Applications Code Generation for Web Applications Collaborative Web Development Conceptual Modelling of Web Applications (aka. Web modeling) Data System for Web Information Systems Development Run & Run Improvement of Web Applications Empirical Web Engineering Integrated Web Application Development Environments Multimedia Authoring Tools & Software Performance of Web-depending Applications Personalisation & Adaptation of Web Applications Run Modelling of Web Applications Prototyping Methods & Tools Quality Control & Testing Requirements Engineering for Web Applications Semantic Web Applications Programs Factories for/on a Web Touching Automation, Methods & Information for Web Applications Omnipresent & Upwardly mobile Web Applications UML and the Web Usability of Web Applications Web Accessibility Web Project Methods Web Engineering Education Web Interface Design Web Metrics, Prices Estimation, & Measurement Web Design Management & Chance Management Web Services Development and Deployment
