Multifaceted classification of websites for goal oriented requirement engineering

Abstract

Access to Internet and web applications has become a part of everyone's chores be it for personal, corporate or business use. Web applications too have evolved a great deal from static web pages to interactive web services. It has thus become important to engineer these applications methodologically. As in ISD, detailed requirement analysis for web applications has many benefits. Also, Incorporation of goals form the early stages maximizes the product quality and prevents giving "requirements" amiss. We propose a multifaceted classification of websites based on different criteria. It helps in creation and validation of requirement models for variety of websites. Also how the classification would bind to the goal model for engineering websites has been explained. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
