Introducing a Particular Quality Model in Mobile Application Development: The Mobile Application Developers' Perspective

Quality in software engineering, especially mobile application (mobile app, hereafter) development has been one of the challenges in development teams. As the using of mobile applications has been more popular nowadays, lack of attention to the quality attributes lead many customers to dissatisfaction. The main issue is that most attempts made to define software quality frameworks have led to the presentation of general software quality models. Due to the remarkable differences between mobile and non-mobile apps, lack of a specific quality model in this field still remains as a serious challenge. In order to fill such a gap, the present study presented a quality model specified to mobile apps. The results showed that the proposed model, which is based on attributes specific to mobile apps, has gained a desirable acceptability among mobile app developers.
