Abstract

Mobile application is software executing on smart devices regardless of the time and place. Many individuals and companies have provided a lot of mobile applications services. However, there is not certain standard in terms of application's quality evaluation because study is deficient compared with increase amount of development of mobile application. Moreover, mobile application basically has many special characteristics. For these reasons mobile application is required special standard of quality different from general software. To satisfy these needs, I design and propose mobile application evaluation model. Evaluation model is mapped by characteristics of mobile application based on ISO/IEC 25000's quality characteristics and propose each quality characteristics and metrics. For verification, scenario-based studies were applied to quality model and carried out.

모바일애플리케이션은 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 스마트디바이스 기반에서 활용되는 SW를 말한다. 최근 스마트디바이스의 보급률과 이용률이 지속적으로 증가하면서 개인과 기업들은 수많은 모바일애플리케이션 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 모바일애플리케이션의 양이 급증하는 것에 비해 모바일애플리케이션의 품질 평가에 관한 연구는 매우 부족하여 모바일애플리케이션의 품질기준이 정립되지 않은 실정이다. 더욱이, 모바일애플리케이션은 스마트디바이스를 통해 활용되므로 이동성과 휴대성, 인터넷 접속성 등의 다양한 특성, 스마트디바이스의 하드웨어적 특징(저성능 고효율의 CPU, 메모리 등)을 포함하고 있기 때문에, 일반적인 SW와는 차별화된 품질기준과 평가모델이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 필요성에 따라 모바일애플리케이션 평가모델을 제안하고자 한다. 평가모델은 국제표준인 ISO/IEC 25000의 품질속성에 기반하여 제안하였으며, 검증을 위해 시나리오 기반의 사례연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 모바일애플리케이션의 품질을 평가하는데 기여할 것으로 판단된다.
