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 to other devices such as android, windows phone etc.
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
Before society became an uproarious, interconnected superhighway, it resounded in silence. Communication was arduous due to the inability to understand different languages. However, many argue that a way to transfer ideas from one end of the world to the other was conceivable; not only was this so but it has also been in existence since the dawn of time: the image. Walt Disney said it best, "Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language," (Disney). While this avenue is effective, it in no way is the most dependable. Although the image is considered the easiest medium of communication, this form is sometimes unreliable and cannot be the sole vessel for the transfer of ideas and
Abstract- The usage of smart phones is increasing nowadays, so the need for mobile applications has also increased as they make the life of end users easy. Android platform is one of the platforms that make the usage and development of these applications easy. As android is open source and the development of application and its usage is easy these features make android platform one of the popular platforms for a mobile application. [Ref-4]
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.
The main goal of this project is to deliver one fully functioned app on IOS and Android platform within the given time.
The kind of advantage that iPhone application development has over other mobile platforms is truly amazing. Its core advantage lies in the ability of displaying interactive and smooth user interface, which provides an enhancing effect to the end user. Also, each of the app is approved and scrutinized by Apple and is as per the standards that are guideline by it, thereby reducing the number of security threats.
The SWOT presented is about a personal work: ‘Bored’, a smartphone application. The idea emerged during a conversation between childhood friends: Elliott, Yohan, Kim and myself. The application’s fundamental objective is to allow people to go to events, such as cinemas or gigs, but not alone. An application based on friendship and not about dating.
There are mobile applications for just about everything. There are “apps” for games, social networking, banking, shopping, web browsers, word processors, weather, GPS,
With mobile device usage on the rise, the security of any given Edu Corp employee’s mobile device is considered essential. With continuous concerns regarding both privacy and security, Edu Corp has established a strict, comprehensive policy in order to protect all Edu Corp employees who chose to utilize mobile devices within the workplace. To date, in the United States, large percentages of people possess some form of mobile device (Anderson, 2015). With a large employee base at Edu Corp, the company considers the privacy and security of every employee utilizing a mobile device to be of a high priority. At Edu Corp, we seek the highest level of safety and security for any individual or group in association with the company, regardless of affiliation with a mobile device.
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.
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
Mobile technology is a major leader in information technology and provides opportunities for innovation, agility and flexibility in the workplace ("GOVERNMENT USE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY", 2012).
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.
More and more applications that were used in the PC and laptop began to be used with the mobile. It was with the availability of internet with the mobile that made companies like Nokia look for platforms to deliver the service- including surfing and connecting to social media that prompted developers to begin developing programs for this segment. It was also this development that made Microsoft consider going into the mobile sector since the company had already established itself in the tablet segment.
Everything in the arena of APP development is about to be changed. Mobile APP development Company and Android App Development would require to focus more on end-user experience and added security. Google which supports billions of apps recently announced some key guidelines on APP development. These changes will come into effect from 2018 and 2019-time period. Guidelines fundamentally aim to improve the security and performance of mobile applications.
