| Mobile-D for Mobile Software: How to Use Agile Approaches for the Efficient Development of Mobile Applications (2009) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Mobile phone terminals have been closed environments until recent years. The change brought by open platform technologies such as Symbian operating system and javatechnologies have opened up a significant business opportunity for anyone to develop application software such as games for the mobile terminals. Agile development solutions can be seen to provide a good fit for mobile application development environment. This tutorial seeks to provide an overview on the special characteristics of mobile software development and introduce a development approach called MobileD, which combines several agile approaches to meet the needs of volatile mobile application development. The approach has been validated in five empirical cases (two java applications, two native Symbian applications and one naked-objects application) each of which managed to deliver a market version in just 8-10 weeks of calendar time. To assist the developers and managers in using the proposed approach, concrete empirical data on the development process will be shown. Tutorial introduction | |||||||||||||
