“…The EmERGE platform was developed using Scrum, an agile methodology based on an iterative and incremental approach, delivering the software on a regular basis for feedback. Agile development is recommended for small-to-medium-sized projects [ 33 ], and many studies consider the agile method as a natural fit for the mobile app industry, although it is recommended to tailor the development process to better suit mobile apps’ peculiarities [ 34 ]. Numerous agile approaches for mobile software development have been proposed.…”

In this article, we described a new mobile-Health (mHealth) supported clinical pathway of care for people living with medically stable HIV in terms of platform acceptability, usability and technical feasibility. The EmERGE mHealth platform was codesigned with clinicians and the community, developed using Scrum agile methodology, integrated with hospital information systems and validated in a large prospective cohort study of 2251 participants. The evaluation of this new paradigm of care was conducted using a tailored Health Technology Assessment: the Model for Assessment of Telemedicine Applications. Usability and acceptability were assessed through the System Usability Score and a Patient Reported Experience Measure. The EmERGE platform was successfully deployed across diverse care settings in five European countries and used by 2251 patients and more than 20 clinicians for up to 30 months. Results from the formal evaluation demonstrated that the EmERGE platform is feasible and acceptable, with a high level of usability (median System Usability Score (SUS) 85.0%) and very positive patient-reported experiences (94.2% would recommend to a friend). The EmERGE platform is a secure and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-compliant system with a complete set of functionalities that could be easily adapted to other clinical conditions, clinical sites and health systems thanks to its modular technical architecture.

Abstract:It is predicted that smartphone numbers will increase to 2.8B in 2018, up from around 2B in 2016. Moreover, revenue from application stores is predicted to reach $189B by 2020, up from $88.3B in 2016 1 . Software effort and size estimation are essential when it comes to project managers being able to manage and plan a project so as to prevent it from failing. The planning and development of mobile applications differs from other traditional software applications due to the characteristics of the mobile environment, high autonomy requirements, market competition, and many other constraints. Therefore, this paper presents the results of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) concerning effort and size estimation models in mobile application development; this is followed by a summary of estimation techniques used across mobile apps. In particular, we focus on the software estimation models that are applicable to the Agile Software Development (ASD) process. The aim of this SLR is to provide researchers and practitioners with an overview of the current state-of-the-art software estimation techniques used in mobile applications. At the end of this review, some suggestions, research gaps and possible future work will be presented.

“…The project supplied numerous fields such as games, public transport, services and productivity. Their analysis can be used to assist developers in choosing the software development approach for creating a project for mobile applications [4]. The implementation of agile development also stated by Flora and Chande makes processes of application systems more versatile, helps in continuous learning and incremental delivery, adapting quickly and easily to changes in requirements and technologies [5].…”

The adoption of mobile applications on smartphones and tablet computers has become increasingly common among businesses and service providers. It has been proven to be rapid and successful in engaging the attention of consumers, communicating new technologies, and developing processes such as ticketing systems for transport companies. This research employed agile methodology in developing an Android-based mobile ticketing system that involves assessing current processes, suggestions for improving and optimizing processes, designing software, creating, implementing, and system evaluation. The ISO 9126 Software Quality Characteristics were used as a survey questionnaire to determine the user's acceptance level on the quality of the develop system in terms of functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability where participant ratings were scaled, mean scores were measured and interpreted qualitatively using a 5-point Likert scale. Results indicate that mobile bus ticketing system (MBTS) implementation and adoption is generally acceptable using the ISO 9126 characteristics as viewed by system users and were participants in this research work. Therefore, for the adoption by the bus operator, MBTS is highly recommended for successful and more efficient transactional processes, knowledge generated is readily accessible and useful for taking decision. In the future, further development of this research can be considered and work on the incorporation of other emerging technologies. Widespread use of mobile apps allows the production of more sophisticated mobile applications and more potential to be explored. Researchers working on similar study can find operators of large bus companies operating in the northern part of the Philippines.
