Product-focused Process Elicitation for Mobile Application Systems: A Wireless News Browser Case

The heterogeneous nature of mobile application systems, immaturity of the associated technologies, and insufficient knowledge about the effects of different methodologies denote the need for scrupulous adoption of a life cycle process in developing m-commerce systems. This paper promotes project-specific solutions as a basis for wide-ranging process elicitation efforts. The concept is elaborated by presenting a case study highlighting the best practices for designing and building a wireless news browsing application using a specialized recipe derived from an iterative-based framework. We apply a subset of UML diagrams for modeling the system; moreover, with respect to the high availability of competitive products and close comparability in mobile applications market, we have adopted a highly iterative process model with parallel execution of iterations to speed up our development strategy. Our product incorporates many of the ideas in the already existing feed reader applications to deliver the right mix of features and functionality
