Using a Partially Instantiated GQM to Measure the Quality of Mobile Applications (S)

M obile application markets manage hundreds of thousands of products involving millions of downloads. The quality of these applications is normally contr olled by market policies ; h owever, there is no link between the quality goals of the mobile software market and the practices that have to be exercised to assure a compliant application. In this paper, we propose a GQM - based strategy to supply the mechanis ms to measure the quality of mobile software products. By partially instantiating a GQM structure , we can have a schema previously furnished to consider beforehand the conditions of the mobile domain that typically impact the quality of the final product . O ur approach offers to apply a strong quality model in a field that requires strong quality metrics to assess products generated in short development cycles , with a potential impact of millions of users, executed in a very limited environment .
