Feature Evaluation for Mobile Applications: A Design Science Approach Based on Evolutionary Software Prototypes

摘要

The success of mobile applications depends on the incorporation of key features specific to their intended use. This paper proposes a light-weight process model to facilitate the identification of key user interface features and key application logic features. The iterative, incremental process model is aligned with design science research and is based on software product line engineering ideas. In each iteration several prototype variants are built and evaluated by the customer. Both construction and evaluation of prototypes are based on feature models.
