A Development Technique for Mobile Applications Program

In this paper, we present a development technique, AppSpec, for mobile applications program. The software architecture of business logic for a mobile application can be designed by three models including the application model, the graphic user interface model, and feature model. In order to describe the three models, AppSpec consists of five development phases including requirements analysis, architecture design, navigation design, page design, and implementation and testing. For each phase, we provide diagramming techniques to support the three models for the requirements analysis of the application. Our development procedure helps program developers define functional requirements and design applications architecture through its functional flows. We applied AppSpec to developing a mobile application program, and then presented the products of diagrams as the result of performing development phases of AppSpec.
