The Web has unique characteristics that distinguish it from products or software, so it is necessary to expand the concept of usability to include not only cognitive convenience but also emotional aspects and culture. Unlike software created with a clear intention by a single author or group, the Web is created by various authors with various purposes, so it requires various interactions between users and the system. Compared to existing software with few changes for system maintenance and updates, the Web is a dynamic system that continuously grows and changes. Unlike the relatively homogeneous and limited user group of software, the Web is used by users with various backgrounds and levels, making it difficult to provide unified training or control for the system. Since usability on the Web depends on how accurately and quickly users can access the information they want and how much aesthetic satisfaction and enjoyment they can provide, usability evaluations should be conducted in a different way from traditional software. Due to the diverse and constantly changing characteristics of the web from the basic environment to the end user, it is not desirable to apply software development principles and processes to the development of websites. Unlike the software environment, the Web does not have a defined user base, and unlike software, the tasks performed by users do not have a starting, middle, and ending stage, and they behave differently depending on their preferences. In this paper, we aim to provide an overview of web standardization in dynamic web environments.
