| Welcome and thanks from MDSP Project Team for taking our survey!
|
|
"Mobile Developer Survey Project" is a research project by Carnegie Mellon CyLab Mobility Research Center.
Our main research goal is to provide a decision framework to mobile application developers; we want them to succeed when they make decisions about both market and technical issues.
You can help us filling precisely this survey: it takes about 15 minutes and counts nearly 20 questions. If you can't complete it right now, please save the link and come back before Jan. the 15th: your opinion is really essential for us!
Participating our survey you'll be eligible to be rewarded with a 50$ Amazon gift card.
Please note that only completely filled and submitted survey will be taken into account.
Be sure to fill in your e-mail so that we can send you a summary of the survey results and possibly a Prize!
Thank you very much for your valuable time and support.

Privacy Policy: we'll use data received through the survey only to accomplish our research goals; all data will be summarized for reporting, and no individual information will be disclosed to other parties.

PART TWO: Decisions and issues about mobile platforms
INSTRUCTIONS
Suppose that you have a great idea for a mobile application: before going to the market you have to make several decisions about target platform(s)/device(s)/carrier(s) and about your architecture. How do you decide on the steps to follow? What are the critical factors affecting your decision? |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| * What is your primary concern before starting to develop a mobile application? |
| |
|
|
|
|
Market: How important are each of the following in choosing your target platform(s)?
|
|
| |
|
| |
| Other decision drivers that you believe important: | | |
|
|
|
|
| |
| How (if at all) does the network operator influence your decisions? | | |
|
|
|
|
| Technical: how do the following affect your choice(s) of target platform(s)?
|
|
| |
|
| |
| Other decision drivers that you believe important: | | |
|
|
|
|
| |
| * Which mobile application architecture have you ever used? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
* What factors are most important in choosing your application architecture (native or middleware or web or widget based)?
Select at least 1 and up to 4 best choices |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
* What platform's features are most important for you?
Select at least 1 and up to 4 best choices |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| Was it important if the platform was open source?(required)
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
* What device's features are most important for you?
Select at least 1 and up to 5 best choices |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| * Suppose that you have already deployed your application on a specific platform for a set of devices and now you want to release your application for different platform(s). What is your approach? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| * How many years of experience in Mobile Application Development do you have? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
* What types of development have you primarily done in the past?
Check all that apply. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
PART THREE. Effort: metrics and costs
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
| * Do you have historical data tracking your development effort and cost? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Which metrics do you use to measure software quality and/or costs? Please be as specific as possible. | | |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Do you use any tools to forecast your development effort and so schedule your activities? Please be specific. | | |
|
|
|
|
| |
| How do you mainly test your applications for different platforms\devices? |
| |
|
|
|
|
In wich size range are your mobile applications?
Please provide estimates in term of SLOC (Source Lines Of Code) and\or in term of Function Points (number of functionalities)
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
How much time do you spend for these activities?
(sum should be 100%) |
| |
|
|
|
|
| In January we'll start the second step of our investigation with a new survey.
