Using Partial Designs To Elicit Requirements In Web Development - A Survey Of Commercial Practice
John Eklund, David B. Lowe · OPUS - Open Publications of UTS Scholars (University of Technology Sydney) · 2002
In this paper we describe our research that examines the activities in the commercial web development lifecycle, particularly in gathering and defining requirements.Often requirements are inadequately documented, or only emerge during development, or change as development proceeds.We offer an iterative model for Web systems development that incorporates the use of partial design prototypes as a crucial tool in resolving requirements.This is derived from an analysis of the results of a survey of commercial Web practice.The results support the increasingly accepted premise that within commercial Web development, design artifacts become a crucial element in supporting client understanding and driving the formulation of requirements.
