TEST-DRIVEN WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT: INCREASING THE QUALITY OF WEB DEVELOPMENT BY PROVIDING A FRAMEWORK WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TEST-DRIVEN DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES A THESIS SUBMITTED ON 10 OF DECEMBER, 2010 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF THE SCHOOL OF COMPUTER & INFORMATION SCIENCES OF REGIS UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN SOFTWARE ENGINEEING AND DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES BY Charles N. Thies, Thesis Advisor Denise Duncan, Asst. Professor Nancy Birkenheuer, Asst. Professor TEST-DRIVEN WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT | ii Abstract Web applications – especially those based on interpreted programming languages – are quickly becoming more utilized and more commonplace than traditional client applications. Despite this growth, no open solution has yet fulfilled the need of a risk-reducing development framework that supports test-driven methodologies and tools designed to coordinate the resources responsible for the most effective development of web applications based on interpreted programming languages. This research paper presents a test-driven development framework consisting of openly available components that can be used by development teams writing web applications based on interpreted programming languages based on the methodologies and tools used by traditional software development teams using compiled programming languages. TEST-DRIVEN WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT | iii Acknowledgements I am indebted to my many fellow members of the Ignite 360 development team and support staff for their time, hard work, and support, all of which was instrumental for me to complete this significant milestone in my life. I would like to particularly thank Charles Thies for providing me with the direction and motivation I needed throughout this capstone project. Lastly, and without a doubt most importantly, words cannot express the thanks I have for my family – especially my wife Terri – for being so understanding and for unconditionally giving me their love and support.
