1.2 WEB Development Practices

	Web development is not a work based on application; rather it is based on writing work (e.g. content creation
	and presentation).

	It has a very important artistic side like the process of designing buildings, layout for a park etc and constructing
	them, but it needs a lot more than just this.

	It needs to follow a systematic process and not just putting some Web pages together as is known to a normal
	Internet user.

	The entanglement of such applications has significantly grown from information propagation (consisting of
	simple text and images to image maps, forms, applets, scripts, and style sheets) to online transactions, Web-
	based collaborative work environments, and now multilingual Web sites, Web services and mobile Web
	applications.

	Web-based systems development is not a one-time event as practiced by many; it is a process with an iterative
	lifecycle, the requirements for the web systems eventually evolve and cannot be stopped at a very early stage of
	development.

	Web application development depend a lot more on knowledge and experience of just hand full of people
	(developers) and their individual development practices and don't care about the standard practices.

1.2 WEB Development Practices

	During development many attributes such as maintainability, compatibility and interoperability, security and
	reliability of Web- based systems are not given due considerations.

Many Web systems also lack proper testing, evaluation and document.

	Causes of failure of Web applications include lack of vision and improper goals, flawed design and development
	process and poor management of development effort.
