Abstract

With the expansion in the quantity of cell phone utilization, mobile applications are developing significantly in today's high-tech environment. With this high demand, the quality of mobile applications is turning into a major issue. The organizations are still finding a way to develop quality applications. The number of quality models has already been proposed for assessing the quality of a mobile application but none of them provide a holistic view towards quality assurance. The present research work proposes an empirical evaluation of the SQM-MApp quality model using a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach named ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité (ELimination and Choice Expressing REality) (ELECTRE-TRI) method and step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) method for ranking and determining weights of chosen quality factors respectively. The proposed approach specifically is for the mobile applications that are from the gaming domain. Also, validation of the proposed approach is performed by assessing the quality of gaming applications.

基于混合MCDM方法的移动应用质量评估

随着手机使用量的扩大，移动应用在当今高科技环境下得到了显著的发展。在这种高需求下，移动应用程序的质量正在成为一个主要问题。这些组织仍在寻找开发高质量应用程序的方法。已经提出了许多质量模型来评估移动应用程序的质量，但没有一个模型能够提供质量保证的整体视图。本研究提出了SQM-MApp质量模型的实证评价，采用一种混合多准则决策方法，即消除和选择表达现实(electretri)方法和逐步加权评估比率分析法(SWARA)方法，分别对所选质量因素进行排序和确定权重。所建议的方法特别适用于来自游戏领域的移动应用程序。此外，通过评估游戏应用程序的质量来验证所提出的方法。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes (IJOSSP) publishes high-quality peer-reviewed and original research articles on the large field of open source software and processes. This wide area entails many intriguing question and facets, including the special development process performed by a large number of geographically dispersed programmers, community issues like coordination and communication, motivations of the participants, and also economic and legal issues. Beyond this topic, open source software is an example of a highly distributed innovation process led by the users. Therefore, many aspects have relevance beyond the realm of software and its development. In this tradition, IJOSSP also publishes papers on these topics. IJOSSP is a multi-disciplinary outlet, and welcomes submissions from all relevant fields of research and applying a multitude of research approaches.
