Mobile application development is a highly competitive environment; agile methodologies can enable teams to provide value faster, with higher quality and predictability, and a better attitude to deal with the continuous changes that will arise in the mobile context application (App), and the positive impact of that on sustainable development through continuous progress. App development is different from other types of software. For this reason, our objective is to present a new agile-based methodology for app development that we call Agile Beeswax. Agile Beeswax is conceived after identifying the mobile development process’s issues and challenges, and unique requirements. Agile Beeswax is an incremental, iterative development process composed of two main iterative loops (sprints), the incremental design loop and the incremental development loop, and one bridge connecting these two sprints. Agile Beeswax is structured in six phases, idea and strategy, user experience design, user interface design, design to development, handoff and technical decisions, development, and deployment and monitoring. One of its main strengths is that it has been created with academic and business perspectives to bring these two communities closer. To achieve this purpose, our research methodology comprises four main phases: Phase 1: Extensive literature review of mobile development methodologies, Phase 2: Interviews with mobile application developers working in small to medium software companies, Phase 3: Survey to extract valuable knowledge about mobile development (which was carefully designed based on the results of the first and the second phases), and Phase 4: Proposal of a new methodology for the agile development of mobile applications. With the aim of integrating both perspectives, the survey was answered by a sample of 35 experts, including academics and developers. Interesting results have been collected and discussed in this paper (on issues such as the development process, the tools used during this process, and the general issues and challenges they encountered), laying the foundations of the methodology Agile Beeswax proposed to develop mobile apps. Our results and the proposed methodology are intended to serve as support for mobile application developers.

“…In designing this application, a method is needed that utilizes user opinions, as well as user patterns and behavior, by applying the User Centered Design (UCD) method, the most popular method for user interface design (Saffer, 2010). UCD is an approach that represents techniques, processes, methods, and procedures for designing usable products and systems, considering the user as the center of the process, which has the goal of achieving a greater level of usability in software (Aguilar & Zapata, 2017;Llema & Vilela-Malabanan, 2019). Usability is one of the factors that determine the quality of a system.…”

Software development is among the most powerful needs in every organization and industry in the current generation. It is used to help the functionality of their system by using the software development guide named Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Various system developments have been conducted, including developing a public complaint service system. This research applies extreme programming (XP) and User-Centered Design (UCD) development methods to develop the geographic information system for the Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) Kediri City complaint service. These development methods are expected to meet user expectations. Also, it can reduce the time required to develop products with results that will be shown by conducting usability testing and validity tests. This research applied extreme programming and user-centered design development methods, both quantitative and qualitative for user testing. The application was successfully developed using XP and UCD development methods. The Kediri City BNN complaint service application was successfully developed in several stages: planning, implementing the design, and program code, followed by the evaluation stage. In the evaluation stage, usability testing results on the geotagging mobile application of the Kediri City BNN complaint service obtained a total score of 92.75% with a very good interpretation, and the validation testing results obtained a value of 100%. Applying extreme programming and user-centered design as a development method produces high usability testing and user experience because, in the development stage, it prioritizes interactions and user opinions.

“…The technological changes in this digital revolution have encouraged many companies to be in constant innovation so that they can respond to the needs of the current market these companies adopted the agile methodologies since it allows them to adapt their way of working to the conditions that are necessary for the project [4]. Agile methodologies are mostly suitable for short projects, such as mobile application development [5]. This agile approach allows having constant changes since they have to satisfy a series of requirements and special conditions for the user [6].…”

In this research we have seen that in Peru there is a large number of overweight people in a range that exceeds at least 30% depending on the age range, between 20 and 29 years there is 30.40% overweight, between 30 and 39 years there is 43.70% overweight, between 40 and 49 years there is 46.80% overweight, Between 50 and 59 years old there is a 43.30% of overweight and from 60 years old onwards there is a 38.50% of overweight, that is why we have proposed a prototype of a mobile application, whose main function is to help through the interaction of chatbots technology to have better control over their feeding and physical The development of the application will be done with an agile methodology, using the Scrum framework and the Balsamiq Mockup tool that will help us to design the prototypes of each module of the application. In the case of the study the requirements were made, and the planning of each sprint to carry out the application in a determined time. As a result, the design of the application is shown with modules to register users, register their weight and height to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI), a section to interact in a chat to make any consultation, and finally a list of recipes with healthy dishes. This application will be very useful for all people who want to improve their health since it is not only for aesthetics, but also to prevent fatal diseases at an early age. Keywords— Chatbots, Design, Mobile Application, Overweight.
