Comparing "Traditional" and Web Specific Fit Tables in Maintenance Tasks: A Preliminary Empirical Study

In this paper we focus on the use of Fit tables, a table- based approach used to clarify (change-)requirements and validate software systems. The main purpose of this work is to compare Fit tables for traditional systems and Web specific Fit tables. Results indicate that Fit tables do not provide any significant help to Web developers, while they seem to be useful for traditional systems. The main reason appears to lie in the complexity of the Fit tables used for Web systems.
