Mobile is a significant component of the

evolution of computing

Consumer experience and “bring your own device” are driving much new enterprise use.

Fundamentally changing industries

challenges

� Highly fragmented set of platforms,

devices, languages, and tools increases cost and complexity of development and test

� Choosing not to support one or more

platforms reduces the reach of an application

Developing for multiple mobile platformsDelivering high quality apps that engage users

and meet business objectives

� Poor quality can negatively impact brand image

� Bad ratings and comments

can cause other users to avoid trying an app

� Recreating instead of leveraging

existing business logic increases maintenance costs and risk of inconsistent behavior

� Lack of ready back-end services

slows front-end development and increases potential for last minute integration issues

Integrating with enterprise systems Meeting accelerated time to market requirements

� Hand-off errors and delays

between teams slows progress and responsiveness to features and fixes

� Misalignment of stakeholders

results in late rework and increased cycle times

Mobile software development is a team

sport� Software development involves a team of people

with diverse skills using different tools

– Design, development, test, operations, etc.

� Tools can make or break collaboration

– Fragmented tools create silos

– Integrated tools break down barriers

� Effective development depends on …

– Defined goals

– Transparency of progress and quality trends

– Aligning teams across the entire application

development lifecycle

For any team, silos create barriers to

effective software delivery

1. Business

3. Operations*

Application lifecycle management (ALM) is the

discipline of overcoming these silos to realize

a whole-team, whole-view approach to the

software delivery cycle.

Elaborate requirement and review• Review seeded artifacts; focus on

linkage and UI sketching/storyboard

• Perform final approval to close out a

reviewConstruct and simulate • Review design from the IDE

• Code using visual editor

• Preview using mobile simulator

• Check in and deliver code

Manual testing• Launch emulator / device and

perform manual integration test Fix bug and simulate• Find problem and fix

• Preview using mobile simulator• Check in and deliver code

Deploy to Dev and Test environment• Build deploys to the mobile app

server-side, and ‘app store’

• Device under test retrieves appAdd requirement to the plan• Add item to sprint plan

• Update test plan

Build and package for test• Build the app based on integrated

changes from the team

• Build for each target platform

Lifecycle techniques to help optimize user

experienceImprove collaboration and communications between line-of-business

stakeholders and development team

Ensure that development understands and will deliver an app that meets

business objectives

Engage non-technical stakeholders

Improve collaboration to find a cheaper yet satisfying solution

Put more focus on the application design and conceptualization phase

Iterate during the phase of the lifecycle when it is cheapest to make changes, not

when the code is done and changes require drastic re-architecture

Use UI sketching, storyboarding, and business process diagrams

Improves communications – “a picture is worth a thousand words”

Avoid over-elaboration with sketches; focus on high-level, big-picture issues

Ensure proper application flow and interactions with business process diagrams

Communicate an outside-in user

experience spec

� Collaborate as a team

using comments and

annotations

� Get feedback from non-

technical stakeholders

Testing involves much more than just the mobile front-end

solution

RTW supports isolating tiers of the app for

focused mobile testing

support for isolating mobile client tier

For focused automated mobile client tier functional testing, use RTW Test Virtualization to simulate the mobile middle tier and back office systems.

Componentized View of Extension

Architecturally, our approach is to have an adapter that deals with all mobile devices. An extension specific to the mobile platform resides on the device. Event capture and playback services together with UI elements constitute each extension.

� Dynamic Instrumentation of Android Mobile Applications (without requiring source/static enablement)

� Adapter model with specific extensions for multiple mobile platforms

� Capture with high-fidelity replay of multi-touch events

Integrating with existing

systems

• Mobile applications need to connect to enterprise back-end data and services

• Existing programs and services may need to be modified for the mobile app

• Multiple skills will be involved, responsible for different parts of the mobile

application
