Abstract

This paper reports the research findings from the initial phase of a research project for success factors of Web application development. From the initial sample data we collected, multiple regression analyses show that among the 100 independent variables, the following six factors significantly affect the success of Web application development: (1) computing infrastructure effectiveness, (2) end users' feedback about functionality, (3) creative brief or concept creation as a development phase, (4) operations and business process design as a development phase, (5) activity diagram as a development tool, and (6) political reasons. A preliminary path analysis indicates the following significant chain relationships: (1) "computing infrastructure effectiveness" affects "success of Web application development" via the moderator variable of "Web modeling language as a methodology", (2) "end users' feedback about functionality" influences "success" via "creative brief or concept creation as a development phase" and "operations and business process design as a development phase", and (3) "political reasons" determines "success" via "Web modeling language as a methodology" and "activity diagram as a development tool".
