The Agile Web Engineering (AWE) process

This document describes the Agile Web Engineering (AWE) Process for the construction of Web-based applications. AWE is a lightweight process that has been developed to tackle the problems associated with the development of Web-based applications: short development life-cycle times; small multidisciplinary development teams; delivery of bespoke solutions integrating software and data. In addition AWE encourages: more focus on requirements analysis, including a clear analysis of business needs; better testing and evaluation of deliverables; and clear consideration of the issues associated with the evolution of Web-based applications. By identifying and managing the interaction between business, domain, software and creative design strands within Web Engineering projects, AWE provides a roadmap that allows Web-based endeavours to deliver solutions that satisfy EndUsers, who are ultimately the litmus test for success.
