The Need for Web Engineering: An Introduction

The objective of this chapter is three-fold. First, it provides an overview of differences between Web and software development with respect to their development processes, technologies, quality factors, and measures. Second, it provides definitions for terms used throughout the book. Third, it discusses the need for empirical investigations in Web engineering and presents the three main types of empirical investigations — surveys, case studies, and formal experiments.
