Abstract
The Internet and the Web continue to evolve at a rapid pace where the Internet as the medium for the Web to provide and share information to global users without boundaries. This has caused the information systems change from standalone desktops to networked systems in order to effectively utilise the Web-specific characteristics for easy access to information anywhere. For this reason, the development of such information systems particularly the ebusiness applications would need to change from traditional development method via software development life cycle to new development methodology through web development life cycle. This new development methodology has been widely used and recognised due to its focus on developing business applications reflecting the nature of the Web. This paper presents a comprehensive review of related literature in which the web development life cycle that considers the unique and special requirements of developing web-based applications with success factors, is more effective compared to the traditional software development. The review findings are taken as a basis for conducting case studies to investigate any issues and challenges from the perspective of web development team.

Summary
With the advent of the web, which was becoming essential parts of our life, the way that software applications are developed through software development life cycle (SDLC) has changed. This paper highlights the uniqueness of web environment in which the characteristics and types of web-based business applications are essential for developers to look at prior in building such applications (Mendes et al 2006). In addition to effective building web-based business applications, the comprehensive development methodology is necessary that provides detailed processes at each development stage. There are many success factors exist but this paper covers the most out of the authors’ best knowledge for developers to consider when building webbased business applications. The development methodology proposed and the success factors revealed would assist the developers in effective building web-based business applications. The second part identifies the development methodology and the success factors for effective building webbased business applications for developers to consider. The last part explains the method for further work and draws a conclusion
