I am looking for several manuals / books to read when it comes to creating a software specification for a web application. For inspiration, I read some specifications for desktop-based applications. The documents that I read fix the functional requirements for systems in use cases, which are usually data oriented using examples centered around the various CRUD operations that an application should perform.
I like this structure, but it's hard for me to get married to what my web application needs to do, mainly reading the data, rather than manipulating it. I had to write some use cases, but they all boil down to “Search for an item”, “Change the look of the search results” or “The user selects a face to refine the search results”. This doesn't sound right to me and makes me wonder if I will do it right.
Are there planning differences between web and desktop applications?
