Mobile Market

This article describes how these days the mobile application market keeps getting bigger because of the different mobile operating systems. So, it has become a challenge for application vendors to provide an application planned for multiple platforms whose operating systems use different technologies. This fragmentation makes the development of mobile applications quite difficult and very expensive. This can be observed at all levels, data storage, software architecture, user interface, access to phone data, communication between applications, etc. To resolve this problem, several solutions exist in the mobile market to develop mobile applications according to the principle “develops once, use everywhere”. In this article, the authors propose a solution based on the MDA approach called “TimPhoneGenerator”. Using TimPhoneGenerator, applications only need to be coded once for all targeted platforms, which reduces development time and costs.

Smart Mobile

The number of users of smart mobile devices is growing every day. Because of the popularity of using mobile devices, it is important for business stakeholders to develop mobile applications targeting all mobile platforms in order to ensure that the number of users is as large as possible. One possible solution is the creation of hybrid mobile applications. These are applications that combine the properties of web and native mobile applications, and their main advantage is compatibility with multiple mobile operating systems. This paper presents the results of very comprehensive experiments that involved the use of various hybrid mobile development frameworks that were tested under different scenarios. Experiments revealed that the performance of hybrid applications in different scenarios varies considerably, although the results of these applications were comparable to those that were achieved in the experiment with the native application.

Abstract Nowadays, mobile applications are developed for more and more areas, providing great help for our everyday lives. When designing a mobile application, the first important decision to make is to choose the targeted platform. Is it only phone or tablet as well? Should the app run on Android or iOS, or should it be available on both mobile operating systems? In the latter case, besides the native development environments, it is worth considering a cross-platform development environment to write the software. This study investigates both the development and performance aspects of some possibilities for iOS application development, namely, native iOS development in Xcode, Xamarin.iOS, and Xamarin.Forms frameworks.

RESUMO. Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem sobre a influência da engenharia semiótica na experiência do usuário de aplicativos mobile. Uma vez que a semiótica se define como o estudo dos signos, dos processos de significação e como os signos e os significados tomam parte na comunicação, os seus estudos estão atualmente voltados para os processos de comunicação mediada por computador entre designers e usuários de sistema, em seus tempos de interação conjunta. Através dos sistemas de interface, por muitos meios diretos e indiretos, designers dizem aos usuários como eles podem ou devem interagir com o sistema, a fim de adquirir um alcance particular de alvos antecipados pelo momento do designing. A mensagem interativa dos designers para os usuários inclui uma “linguagem de interação” que deverá ser utilizada na comunicação de usuários com o sistema. O objetivo deste estudo é ampliar a visão do leitor sobre esta linguagem de interação e a forma como ela é construída no caso de aplicativos móveis. Este estudo contribui com o preenchimento de uma lacuna teórica na compreensão da relação entre semiose e desenvolvimento mobile. Na perspectiva aplicada, a pesquisa oferece contribuições para à comunidade de desenvolvedores de aplicativos móveis quanto à compressão da influência da semiótica na experiência do usuário com a interface do produto desenvolvido. Palavras-chave: Engenharia Semiótica; Experiência do Usuário; Desenvolvimento Mobile.ABSTRACT. This paper presents an approach on the influence of semiotic engineering on the mobile application user experience. Since semiotics is defined as the study of signs, meaning processes, and how signs and meanings take part in communication, their studies are currently focused on the processes of computer-mediated communication between designers and system users, in their times of joint interaction. Through interface systems, by many direct and indirect means, designers tell users how they can or should interact with the system in order to acquire a particular range of anticipated targets by the time of designing. The designers' interactive message for users includes an "interaction language" that should be used in the communication of system users. The purpose of this study is to broaden the reader's view on this interaction language and how it is built in the case of mobile applications. This study contributes to filling a theoretical gap in understanding the relationship between semiosis and mobile development. In the applied perspective, the research offers contributions to the community of mobile application developers regarding the compression of the influence of semiotics on the user experience with the developed product interface. Keywords: Semiotic Engineering; User Experience; Mobile Development.

Statistics hold that 80% of the mobile applications are deleted after just one-time use. A significant reason for this can be attributed to the quality of the mobile application, thus impressing on the need for testing a mobile application before it is made available on the app stores. At the same time, the mobile application lifecycle time is shrinking. So while operating systems used to get release about once in a couple of years, mobile operating systems get updated within months. And talking of apps, new apps are expected to be built and released in a matter of weeks. This impresses the need for automated mechanisms to do mobile testing. The space of mobile application testing is challenging owing to the variety of phone devices, the operating systems and the conditions under which an app can be used by the user in the wild. This chapter is focused on tools and techniques that are used for automated testing of mobile applications.
