Defining Web Application! A computer software application that is hosted in a browser controlled environment. Any application that uses web browser as a client. Google document and spreadsheet is a fine example of web application

Web Application Development Process Web application development process are procedures and standards of developing a web application Web application development process has defined stages or phases Development process follows a certain sequence

Phases of Web Application Development Process There are five main phases of web application development process: Defining Requirements Design Implementation Test Release

Defining Requirements Scope: It is a step which describes what exactly your web application will do. E.g. Describing features of your web application Needs: This step describes the technical requirements for the web application E.g. Choosing server side language (php, ASP, ColdFusion)

Requirements Gather Methods

Design This phase of the process is used to design the application with clear project. This phase involves following steps: Application Map: This step defines the structure of your application. E.g. Sitemap Database: This step is used to design the database of the application E.g. Designing a database using a entities-relationships (ER) model. Page Structure: Designing a structure of the web application E.g. Wireframe Server-side Language: This steps defines your objects of the application JS Framework features: This steps helps to choose JavaScript framework E.g. jQuery, Scriptaculous, MooTools

Implementation This phase is the most important phase of web application development process where application idea comes in to realization.

Implementation (Cont.) This steps involves following steps: Database: This step is all about writing SQL code and creating tables, attributes and relationships. HTML: This step helps to create html code for the web application CSS: CSS helps to put some style in to your web application Server-side Language: This step defines application class, Database interactions and anything which needs server side interaction JavaScript: Implementing features like drag and drop and animation through the framework of choice (For details see Design)

Test This phase is all about testing your application in different conditions. E.g. running application in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE) Test Code: This step is used to test code and find any errors in the application Fix Bugs: This step helps to eradicate any errors in the web application Final Validation: It is the optimum level of testing

Release This phase is all about releasing your web application to the internet. E.g. Launching a web based game through a particular website. Farmville a web based game launched on Facebook.
