1. Abstract
Although there is increasing methodology are used to develop web application. But whether there is the best methodology for development of web applications. This paper reviews the literature in the area of method for web applications. One is DSDM the other is WISDM. And use SWOT to analysis the advantage and disadvantage for each of method. It compared with three aspects: Technique Design, Organizational & Information Analysis and People. Then draw the conclusion by analyzing.
2. Introduction
An increasing number of information systems are being built based on World Wide Web technology and such systems can lead to high return on investments (turban, et al, 1999). The development method has lead to new challenges regarding whether specific method for the web applications. With the rapid development of new economy, users and technical requirements are changing all the time. Therefore, in this paper we examine the specific development method adapt to the change. In order to adapt this change, Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) and Web Information System Development Methodology (WISDM) are developed.
Stapleton (n.d.) commented that DSDM is a framework based originally around Rapid Application Development (RAD). DSDM is a mature, proven and robust Agile Project Framework that provides best practice guidance for on time, in budget delivery of projects in any business sector (DSDM Consortium). As stated by Troyer & Leune (1998) WISDM is a user centred design method. The multiview framework for generating a web IS development methodology-WISDM (Avison, et al, 1998). WISDM makes systems more flexible, more easily extensible and less costly to maintain. The goal of this paper is identify the strengths and weakness of these
