A requirement analysis approach for using i*in web engineering

Abstract

Web designers usually ignore how to model real user expectations and goals, mainly due to the large and heterogeneous audience of the Web. This fact leads to websites which are difficult to comprehend by visitors and complex to maintain by designers. In order to ameliorate this scenario, an approach for using the i*modeling framework in Web engineering has been developed in this paper. Furthermore, we also present a traceability approach for obtaining different kind of design artifacts tailored to a specific Web modeling method. Finally, we include a sample of our approach in order to show its applicability and we describe a prototype tool as a proof of concept of our research. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
