Abstract
The process of Web applications engineering can be complex and time consuming. We argue that Web engineering based on a standardized platform with reusable components is a logical next step in the evolution of Web application development. One popular platform to create Web applications is called a Web Content Management Systems (WCMS) which allows organizations to develop Web applications in a time and resource efficient way. This paper presents a method to identify software commonalities in WCMS-based Web applications to improve the software product for future implementations based on feature modeling and e-business models. The resulting method provides insight in relevant e-business models and their corresponding functionalities. Moreover, this paper shows how these commonalities can be identified and how that could influence the software product line. The approach has been applied in a practical case study of a series of Web application engineering projects within the publishing vertical market. We have validated the approach with experts within the case study company and found that the approach is useful in aiding requirements engineers in the Web application engineering process and product managers in the software product management process.
