Web Engineering uses scientific, engineering, management principles and systematic approaches to |
| successfully develop, deploy, and maintain high-quality Web systems and applications. |
|
The emerging discipline of Web engineering advocates a holistic, disciplined approach to successful Web |
| development. |
|
Successfully manage the complexity and diversity of Web application development, and hence avoid potential |
| failures that could have serious implications is the essence of Web engineering. |
|
It aims to bring Web-based system development under control, minimize risks and improve quality, |
| maintainability (It measures the speed and ease with which a system can be restored to operational status after | |
| a failure occurs), and scalability of Web applications. |
|
Web engineering and software engineering both involve programming and software development but it cannot |
| be considered as recreation of software engineering. |
|
Diverse areas like requirements engineering, human computer interaction, hypermedia/hypertext engineering, |
| graphics engineering, systems analysis and design, testing modeling and simulation, information indexing and | |
| retrieval, project management etc contribute and make web engineering a multidisciplinary. |
