, Abstract
It is observed that in recent years small and medium Web companies have emerged
very rapidly and thousands of such companies are in existence all over the globe. To
cater the needs of such companies, a new field of research was created – Web
Engineering, given than Web engineering differs from traditional software engineering
in numerous ways, which include the need of agile process models, extended modelling
techniques (WebML), Navigational development techniques, different architectures
and rapid application process along with different testing techniques. [12] [13] [15] [16
[25] [27]].
It has been observed that Software process improvement emerges as one of the
biggest challenges for such companies [12]. A systematic literature review (SLR) has
been conducted to identify and discuss the existing models and techniques used by
small and medium Web companies. Important phases of our SLR included identification
of the research questions to be investigated; primary and secondary database searches
to identify relevant literature; data extraction from selected studies; data synthesis to
formulate answers; and formal discussion to identify trends and research gaps.
A total number of 88 studies were selected, after being filtered using an initial inclusion
and exclusion criteria. Surprisingly, further inspection revealed only 4 relevant studies
on the topic. A careful evaluation of studies was performed using qualitative as well as
quantitative checklists; extracted data were further synthesized to answer the probed
research questions. The identification of research gaps and possibilities of further
research were explored.
