WEB ENGINEERING: Awareness on the Importance of Early Risk Management

The essence of Web engineering is to successfully manage the diversity and complexity of Web application development and, therefore, to avoid potential failures that may bring about grave consequences. Many failures associated with Web application projects are the consequences of poor awareness of the risks involved and the weak management of these risks. In this regard, effective risk management has become the essential factor in ensuring the success of the Web project management. In this book, we discuss the typical Web application characteristics, the challenges present in Web application development, reviews the problems and limitations of current Web development practices and their implications. It also provides an overview of the current state of the art in software project risk management as well as reviews of the issue of software project risk and current risk management approaches and techniques. Additionally, the book proposed a new risk management process model intends to improve the risk management, to facilitate risk avoidance before the design process start and to increase the prospects of early risk management
