Software Engineering for Mobile Application Development: Challenges and Research In the recent years we have seen rapid growth of applications of mobile devices popularly known as “APPS”. Recent surveys show that there are enormous numbers of mobile application developers. Although there is a growing trend of these mobile applications, very few make it to the top charts of the devices thereby pushing the application developers to provide with high quality, and useful applications. Software engineering comes in to picture here, thereby leading the development of the application through different life cycle phases for good quality output. This paper presents the different challenges faced by the developers such as (a) building good user interfaces(b) support for multiplatform (c) dealing with uncertainities. (d) change according to the environment. For each of the above stated challenges we provide the current trends and advances done, along with the challenges that are faced in developing the application and also the future risks and availabilities for developing the project.
1. Introduction
Mobile application development started long time ago, around ten years back. But although the development of mobile applications was done long ago, their popularity has increased since the apple store by iphone has been developed in 2008. Ever since the marketers have spread the apps
The start of the history of mobile applications didn’t actually come from a mobile cellular phone, but from Psion EPOC Portable handheld computers. A device that brought the key functionality and handiness of a desktop computer and transferred it to a portable handheld device. This machine was released in the early 90s and had some of the first mobile applications applied to it. Applications like Word Processor, Spreadsheet and Database many of which are still implemented today. It was Psion’s goal to bring the experience of a desktop
There are mobile applications for just about everything. There are “apps” for games, social networking, banking, shopping, web browsers, word processors, weather, GPS,
Software engineering (SE) is the profession concerned with specifying, designing, developing and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.
Karen is the sponsor of a project that is developing a Smartphone application that allows customers to access the company 's Web site and pay their invoices. She is unhappy with the way the project has progressed, particularly in the form of communication and cooperation between the project team, and she is considering cancelling the project. The Vice President of the Project Management Office has convinced Karen to add Samantha, a more experienced project manager, to the team as an adviser.
Currently mobile apps are directly helping the retail brands in boosting their sales through serving huge number of prospective customers. Groupon, Amazon, eBay, etc like big names of web are the most beneficial businesses who gained so much through releasing their own mobile apps. iOS App Store and Google Play are the prominent channels for app distribution.
equipped smartphones in general, has been the success of the App Store. A vibrant selection of applications (apps) distinguishes Apple s offerings from its competitors' and gives the company a
This report looks several different areas that need to be considered when developing mobile applications in the Android platform. The areas that are considered when when evaluating the development of mobile applications in the Android platform are: User friendliness;
Abstract: The expanding significance of Smartphone has activated surprizing competition among technology like Symbian, Google, Microsoft and Apple. This Paper exhibits a brief survey and correlation of the Android operating System from Google and iPhone operating System from Apple. The Comparison is done on the premise of their platform, their performances and the development in mobile area.
Abstract—Android has evolved to be one of the most popular tools for mobile application development This Platform easily provides a range of benefits for mobile application developers.One of Which is the easy to handle and easy to implement feature.Currently many applications were developed for Android systems and we are having over 1.3 million applications.In
For a long time now, mobile apps have remained a mysterious place for online marketers. However, using mobile apps require that marketers re-educate themselves if they are to become successful and gain popularity in the marketplace.
As a conclusion, every mobile app must have its clear audience (students, employers, businessmen, software developers, jobless,
With the increasing role and the steady advance of technology throughout the recent decades, the use mobile devices as smartphones and tablets have widespread among people, and their boom continues to skyrocket around the world. Those little squares (Apps) on our smartphones, bring us new possibilities for streamlining various facets of our lives as well as a new way to develop businesses. Nevertheless, some doubt could arise among users regarding the creation process of mobile Apps; this paper outlines and unwraps the general steps (Idea, strategy, design and development) involved in the development process of mobile Applications in a direct and digestible way.
With the increase in number and development of smartphones, mobile application development has become more and more demanding these days. All the versions of different platforms of every phone demands same application with different compatibility. This rising demand need large number of developers to move towards the development of mobile applications. Even universities are trying to promote this concept among the students by providing them knowledge of free and open source tools and languages for mobile application development. The paper will present the basic requirements for the development of mobile applications
Abstract—The increase in popularity for wearable technologies has opened the door for an Internet of Things (IoT) solution to healthcare. One of the most prevalent healthcare problems today is the poor survival rate of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests. The objective of this paper is to present a noval way of solving such a big problem by using Mobile IoT devices, Cloud computing technology and Machine learning. Mobile IoT that can collect physical activity such as heart rates and body temperature and store the data on a cloud. Machine learning algorithm uses this heap of data and predicts and detects heart attack.
The latter half of the past decade has seen new mobile development platforms emerge and become a daily part of the average citizen 's life. When Apple Inc. introduced the iPhone (one of the first to use a multi-touch interface), the mobile industry experienced a powerful spark. With the creation of the smartphone came the first, true application, or "app", ecosystem. The wide variety of mobile apps available provide quick and easy access to services such as news and entertainment to health and fitness. This event quickly restructured the value of certain mobile services and shifted attention to the seemingly lucrative new economy of app development. Abandoned were the traditional pillars of the mobile economy (SMS, telco services, mobile handsets?). These were nearly entirely replaced by the focus towards the mobile app economy. Impressively, this new economy has the largest group of developers (mostly entrepreneurs) to ever enter a technology industry. Despite the rapid growth and the wide variety of economic and consumer-related experiments being tested to expand the industry, it is still in an early stage. With the ever-increasing number of downloaded apps, entrepreneurs blindly jump on the "App Store" bandwagon (or more than 30 other new app stores that have launched). Currently, that may not be the wisest decision. The App Store hysteria is beginning to turn into a tech bubble in which most developers will not ever be able to recover their costs. Experts are
