Process improvement in web-based projects is of growing concern for many reasons including successful delivery of projects. Web application development companies are reluctant to adapt process improvement models and methods because of their complex structure and difficult implementation methods. It has been observed that improvement efforts in web application development companies based on process improvement frameworks which are designed for large organizations fail most of the time. This study attempts to evaluate the suitability of different software process improvement models to meet the special characteristics and requirements for the web-based projects.

Software process improvement has been the main target of many web application development organizations. Despite the importance of software process improvement, there is enough evidence that the majority of web-based software organizations are reluctant to adapt existing software process improvement models and standards as they perceive them as being oriented towards traditional software organizations. It has been observed that improvement efforts web-based software development organizations based on process improvement frameworks which are designed for traditional software organizations fail most of the time. This chapter attempts to make a review of different software process improvement models and check the suitability of these models to meet the special characteristics and requirements for the web-based projects. The findings of this study can be helpful for the web-based software development organizations in assessing and improving software processes.

The high level of abstraction of software process improvement modelsand most software products make Maturity Test (TMA) and Test Process Improvement (TPI) win in industry and software research. The objective of this work is to delineate, from a literature review, the results are compared with the maturity models of Testing Processes (TMMi, TPI (Next) and MPT.br). The systemic basis of literature based on data available on the web. The results are a synthesis of the three types of test maturity investigated, being that they are part of the academic model and the comparisonsare characteristic of the models. In conclusion there are many maturity models of tests proposed in the literature, with TMMi and TPI being the most usable at an international level, and MPT.br the model in the Brazilian context.

In this chapter, we provide a brief description of the development of markup languages, describe their role in the context of web application development and deployment, and finally provide an example of an XML application for a simple Web page displaying a typical sales invoice. Our objective in this example is to illustrate the relationship between the relational and XML representation of data that is required for the use of XML in the development of web-based applications in electronic commerce.

Research into web application security is still in its initial phase. In spite of enhancements in web application development, large numbers of security issues remain unresolved. Login attacks are the most malevolent threats to the web application. Authentication is the method of confirming the stated identity of a user. Conventional authentication systems suffer from a weakness that can compromise the defense of the system. An example of such vulnerabilities is login attack. An attacker may exploit a pre-saved password or an authentication credential to log into web applications. An added problem with current authentication systems is that the authentication process is done only at the start of a session. Once the user is authenticated in the web application, the user's identity is assumed to remain the same during the lifetime of the session. This chapter examines the level login attacks that could be a threat to websites. The chapter provides a review of vulnerabilities, threats of login attacks associated with websites, and effective measures to counter them.
