Ferramentas para apoiar o desenvolvimento Web: Um estudo exploratório

Abstract

CONTEXT: With the continuous launch of new options for Web development, the process of developing modern applications is becoming increasingly complex. However, there are tools available to assist developers in speeding up code delivery, deployment, and improving code quality. Furthermore, some of these tools can be applied toWeb applications regardless of the specific use case, as they address common needs encountered in Web development. MOTIVATION: Nonetheless, recent literature lacks studies that characterize and offer guidance for the selection of tools that support the development of Web applications. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aim to describe the main characteristics of these tools. This includes providing detailed information about each tool and explaining how it can be used in the Web development process. METHODOLOGY: To achieve the proposed objective, the study will do interviews with experienced professionals, at different professional levels. These interviews will be used to identify and highlight important features for choosing these tools. The insights collected through the interviews will help to highlight relevant information about each of choosen tools. BENEFITS: The findings of this study will provide valuable insights for students and professionals, including those seeking or already working in entry-level positions. It will enable them to familiarize themselves with the tools and common requirements in Web projects. Even experienced developers can benefit from this study, as it offers relevant knowledge to enhance their decision-making skills when selecting new tools for project development.
