A Mobile Software Quality Model

The technological progress of mobile devices, the relevance of Internet in today´s society and the booming mobile market have revolutionized mobile software in recent years and significantly impact the software quality of mobile interactive devices. Mobile software gets more and more capable and complex, which allows developers to apply well-established quality methods and models, e.g. from the area of desktop-software development, to mobile software. But mobile software also still has its mobile-specific characteristics, thus corresponding models and methods have to be adjusted for usage in the mobile realm. In this paper, we propose a software quality model for the development of mobile applications. We apply the model in a case study to inspect where mobile software quality has evolved in the past and allow an insight, where it might trend to in future.
