WEB APPLICATIONS: OUR IDEA FOR A DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
Luca Contursi, Roberto Paiano, Andrea Pandurino · 2000
The increased complexity of Web applications makes us sure of the importance of making, before starting the development, a suitable organic design of such an application. Most conceptual design technologies are powerful analysis tools but are too far from the implementation and result almost useless to produce a complete work. We want to build a set of tools, able to fill the gap, letting the developer use the conceptual result of the W2000 analysis as a “ready to produce” methodology. In this Work In Progress, we refer about the first step of our research, in which, trying to verify the effectiveness of a methodology like W2000 [1] [2], based upon the well-known HDM model [3], we produce a pilot application using a standard technology. This experience will be the base for the framework we are thinking of, in order to guide the developer along all the development process, making the phases as automatic as possible. We describe the reasons and the goals of our work, during its working out, as well as the results we already got. We also express which will be the guidelines we are going to follow, moving on the second step.
