    Abstract

    Many Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) tend to gradually adopt Web based business applications to enhance their business processes. To support this gradual adoption we need a framework that supports iterative development. Further processes that have been supported by web based business applications can change and evolve requiring applications to be changed accordingly. One way to facilitate these requirements is to empower SMEs to make changes to the web application to accommodate the required changes while using that web application. This paper presents a requirement specification tool and a Use Case model of a Web based application which can be used to specify and create the Web applications. This approach will bring the formalism to ad-hoc end-user development by including requirement specification phase. In this approach an application is viewed as a collection of packages. A package consists of related set of use cases. A scope list is developed at the package level. This will assure the required functionality of the application is completely specified. This will also provide a framework to validate the requirements. We have developed this tool in Component Based Development/ Deployment System (CBEADS). Now we are in a process of testing it.
