Abstract
A web application is a utility that is developed to serve a specific purpose in the industry. It is an application that follows a Client-Server architectural model for communication and functioning. This paper is a review of the methodologies proposed for web application development. A general software engineering approach for the development is exemplified first. Secondly, an AGILE based approach for development of web applications is explained in this paper. AGILE is a new methodology for efficient software development being utilized in the industry today. The third review contains a methodology for project estimation for AGILE based web applications. Project estimation has become a cumbersome task today considering the great magnitude of today`s web applications. Last but not the least, the automated testing of web applications is presented using a search based software engineering method.
