Early Evaluation of Mobile Applications’ Resource Consumption and Operating Costs
The explosive growth of the mobile application market in recent years has led to a large
concomitant mobile software industry whose components are, in many cases, startups and small-size
software providers. The success of these applications and the firms behind them depends on a subtle balance
between different dimensions mainly affected by their architectural design, such as user satisfaction, resource
consumption, operating costs, and timing. The present communication describes a framework with a specific
set of practices for identifying the boundaries of different architectural designs —in this article we apply it
to estimate both the smartphone’s resource consumption and the operating costs in the cloud— and thus help
in the architectural decision-making process. This will enable mobile software developers to predict at early
stages which architectural design best suits their business model in accordance with the number of users and
the expected use of the application and even provide an advance alert of when architectural choices will need
to be reviewed, obviating the need for costly architectural re-design in further phasesMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades RTI2018-094591-B-I00Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades PGC2018-094905-B-I00Junta de AndalucÃa APOLO (US-1264651)Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación HORATIO (RTI2018-101204–B–C21)Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades RED2018-102654-TInterreg V-A España-Portugal (POCTEP) 0499-4IE-PLUS-4-EJunta de AndalucÃa UMA18-FEDERJA-180Junta de Extremadura GR18112Junta de Extremadura IB1803
