Factors Influencing Quality of Mobile Apps:Role of Mobile App Development Life Cycle
This work targets mobile app developers to reduce app failures, but it is incremental as it applies existing software engineering methods to mobile development without introducing new paradigms.
The paper addresses the problem of high failure rates in mobile apps by identifying key factors like developer negligence and lack of standard development cycles, and proposes using a traditional software development life cycle with UML and mobile technologies to mitigate these issues.
In this paper, The mobile application field has been receiving astronomical attention from the past few years due to the growing number of mobile app downloads and withal due to the revenues being engendered .With the surge in the number of apps, the number of lamentable apps/failing apps has withal been growing.Interesting mobile app statistics are included in this paper which might avail the developers understand the concerns and merits of mobile apps.The authors have made an effort to integrate all the crucial factors that cause apps to fail which include negligence by the developers, technical issues, inadequate marketing efforts, and high prospects of the users/consumers.The paper provides suggestions to eschew failure of apps. As per the various surveys, the number of lamentable/failing apps is growing enormously, primarily because mobile app developers are not adopting a standard development life cycle for the development of apps. In this paper, we have developed a mobile application with the aid of traditional software development life cycle phases (Requirements, Design, Develop, Test, and, Maintenance) and we have used UML, M-UML, and mobile application development technologies.
