Factors influncing quality of mobile apps role of mobile app development life...IJCSEA Journal
In this paper, The mobile application field has been receiving astronomical attention from the
past few years due to the growing number of mobile app downloads and withal due to the
revenues being engendered .With the surge in the number of apps, the number of lamentable
apps/failing apps has withal been growing.Interesting mobile app statistics are included in this
paper which might avail the developers understand the concerns and merits of mobile apps.The
authors have made an effort to integrate all the crucial factors that cause apps to fail which
include negligence by the developers, technical issues, inadequate marketing efforts, and high
prospects of the users/consumers.The paper provides suggestions to eschew failure of apps. As
per the various surveys, the number of lamentable/failing apps is growing enormously, primarily
because mobile app developers are not adopting a standard development life cycle for the
development of apps. In this paper, we have developed a mobile application with the aid of
traditional software development life cycle phases (Requirements, Design, Develop, Test, and,
Maintenance) and we have used UML, M-UML, and mobile application development
technologies.

The Internet of Things: Are Organizations Ready For A Multi-Trillion Dollar P...Capgemini
The Internet is expanding. And this is not just in terms of getting accessible to more people; it is expanding beyond humans. Machines are becoming connected. Machines are talking to humans, but increasingly, they are also talking to one another. And this interconnectedness of machines, or the Internet of Things (IoT), is a potential multi-trillion dollar market that organizations can now tap into.
However, do organizations realize the scale of the opportunity? Capgemini Consulting conducted an extensive survey of IoT products and services of over 100 leading companies across North America and Europe. We also spoke at length with several industry executives at companies developing IoT solutions to understand the challenges companies face. This article presents the results of the survey and highlights the key hurdles companies are facing.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Executive Summary
Introduction
This AVG study identifies the top battery, data and
storage consuming apps on Android™ smartphones and
tablets and includes the latest results from Q3 2015.
The huge choice of cool, interesting
and engaging apps available today for
Android handsets is what makes a
phone more than just a phone.
These apps bring social networks,
entertainment, educational information,
and productivity tools to our fingertips,
at home, in the office or on the move.
Brilliant though they are, certain apps
have a tendency to eat up the battery life,
mobile data and storage of our phones
and tablets without our realizing it –
by constantly checking for content
and feed updates, pushing through
notifications, streaming audio in
the background, delivering high-res
graphics, or simply downloading data.
If you are tired of soaring data bills,
sluggish devices, and that universally
hated red battery symbol, then read on.

Study
Methodology
System apps and
apps with less than
1 million downloads
were ignored.
This report aims to uncover those
apps most guilty of impacting the
performance of AVG users’ Android
devices and explain just what it is
that they are doing to cause this.
Aggregated and
anonymized data
from over 1 million AVG
customers worldwide
was reviewed.
Data was collected
through AVG AntiVirus
FREE for Android
and AVG Cleaner
for Android.
No personal user
data was reviewed.
Only anonymized
data was used.
Data was
collected
in Q3 2015.
Internal metrics and usage
logs gathered by the Android
OS were used to determine
overall impact on battery
life, data volume
and storage.

App Performance & Trends Report
by AVG Technologies Q3 2015
The measured vectors - battery, storage and
data plan - were normalized by calculating
the percentile based on the median values of
the apps, measured from when the app was
installed, whether used or not.
Based on our experience with consumer
preferences, AVG weighted each of the three
vectors slightly differently when calculating
the overall performance score for an app.
The calculation was therefore:
Storage*3 + Battery*2 + Traffic
Data collected in the US, UK and Australia
was statistically significant enough to be
able to produce specific tables and insights
for those markets. These can be viewed in
the appendix.
Measurement was carried out as follows:
Note that our own AVG AntiVirus & AVG Cleaner
for Android apps have been excluded because the
data for this report is collected anonymously from
these two apps, which would automatically have
put them in first place as most installed.
Battery Drain
We ranked the apps’ battery
consumption average based
on real usage data. We ignored
applications that have less than
1 million downloads according
to Google Play. We also did
not include core system apps
but left in pre-installed but
optional apps.
Storage Consumption
We ranked the apps’ storage
consumption average based on
real usage data by measuring the
size of not just the app itself but
also the additional data (e.g.
downloads, temp files or cache
data) stored over time.
Data Plan
We ranked the apps’ network
traffic consumption average
based on real usage data. We
only took into account cellular
transmitted data, ignoring the
cost-free Wi-Fi traffic.

KakaoTalk & WhatsApp on the
Rise Facebook, Instagram and the
Google Play Services app remain the
top resource-drainers across all of
our metrics (storage, battery and mobile traffic),
but now, both WhatsApp and KakaoTalk have
found their way into the top 10 most resource-
consuming background apps.
Staying relevant in the smartphone
business has Microsoft porting many
of its services, such as Office or
OneDrive, to Android and iOS. But one
of them isn’t playing nicely: Outlook has made its
way into the top 10 battery-draining apps that
users are actively running. It’s nowhere near the
top ones, like Spotify, Snapchat or Netflix, but a
simple email app shouldn’t appear on this list.
In our Q2 report, the Samsung
dominance in the Android market
became painstakingly clear, as 9
of the top 10 most-used devices
that we analyzed – those which had AVG Cleaner™
for Android or AVG AntiVirus™ for Android
installed – were made by Samsung.
Since then, we have seen a clear trend by global
usage of the most used phones, namely variants
of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and S4, slowly
dwindle, as the S5 is gaining momentum. The only
non-Samsung is still last year’s Sony Xperia Z2.
Look Who’s Talking Now Microsoft on Google
Device Statistic:
It’s (Still) a Samsung World

Our advice: Try to turn off notifications
in the apps settings when you’re running
out of juice, and limit video calling or
animated stickers in KakaoTalk.

Supercell, now coming in strong
and only behind the literal King
of the mobile gaming market, is
now securing another spot in the
top 10 most resource-hungry apps, with its
Clash of Clans. The more things change, the
more they stay the same. My Talking Tom Free,
now joins My Talking Angela Free, as one of the
most resource-hungry games, as you constantly
need to care for a digital kitty – reminding us of
the mid-90s Tamagotchi phenomenon, only
running on high-res smartphone displays and
GBytes of memory instead of a a 32x32 pixel LCD
with just a few kilobytes of memory.
Tamagotchi Style Apps are Back,
Out to Drain Your Battery This Time
4
With 500 million users, mostly in China,
WeChat is starting to head West and go
head-to-head with the likes of WhatsApp,
Snapchat and Facebook Messenger.
Unfortunately, with it, comes a big battery drain, as
WeChat made its way into the top 10 battery-draining apps
that start automatically when you turn on your Android
device – and keep on secretly guzzling your resources.
When your phone is running low on
storage, the first thing you usually
do is delete photos and music, right?
Not so fast! It’s also the data within
apps that could amount to Gigabytes of hidden
storage. According to our telemetry, Facebook,
Kindle and the Japanese NTT Docomo Email Client
rank among the top storage-eating apps that store
more files for offline use than you might think.

The Ashley Madison Aftermath:
Not What You’d Expect
7
In July and August, when both partner finding
and cheating services, AdultFriendFinder
and Ashley Madison, got hacked and
their millions of users were revealed, the
aftermath seemed shocking, with jobs, marriages
and families being ruined. However, according to our
statistics about top installed and used apps, this category
seems to be fully recovering very quickly: Only 5% who
had the app installed during the hacking season in July
actually used it. However, in Q3, Ashley Madison went
back up to a usage ratio of 15%, which is the percentage
of people who had the app installed and actively used it.
More shockingly, it seems as if the entire category
seems to have gained momentum, following the hacks:
Competing platform, MiuMeet, saw an uplift in usage
from 50% (before July) to 73% (August an onwards); and
AnastasiaDate even went from 11% to 60% in October.
Bottom line: most users have returned to AshleyMadison
or even switched to other similar platforms.

Looking across our entire AVG customer base,
we have a pretty good idea of which devices you
are all using. Namely – those from Samsung. 9 of
the top 10 most-used devices that we analyzed
– those which had AVG Cleaner™ for Android or
AVG AntiVirus™ for Android installed – were made
by Samsung. And we’re not just talking about the
latest and greatest models. Most of the Samsung
devices are more than 3 years old, such as the
Samsung Galaxy S2 Crystal Edition or the Note 2.
Others are low-budget Galaxy phone, like the
S3 Neo or the S4 Mini.
In fact, the only non-Samsung phone in this list,
comes from Sony: The Xperia Z2.

How To Identify the Top 10 Apps on YOUR Phone

AVG has collected this anonymized data through its
mobile AVG AntiVirus and AVG Cleaner apps. To see
what’s consuming all of your smartphone’s battery life,
storage or mobile data, we’ve developed App Manager,
which is a feature within AVG Cleaner for Android. It
quietly observes of the top resource-hungry apps
(see screenshots to the right):

App Performance & Trends Report
by AVG Technologies Q3 2015
New versions of the Android™ operating system
introduce additional features that are specifically
optimized for the latest devices. But at what cost?
While new Android versions can dramatically
improve the experience for those who own
the latest smartphone or tablet, the same is
not true for older devices, whose users may
see the battery life and speed suffer.
It’s also the case that the more apps you
install, the slower your phone or tablet will
get. This is not just about the space those
apps take up being on your device, but also
the fact that a lot of apps, such as Spotify,
Skype or WhatsApp, tend to be active
even when not used and run quietly in the
background.
In this section, we will take a closer look
at the full list of apps which ranked in
the top ten for impact on battery life,
device storage and data plan – as well as
those with the overall highest ranking for
performance when combining all three of
these measurements.
The key findings are separated into
two parts:
• All apps excluding games
• Games only, which we felt were
significant enough to merit a
separate category of their own
On page 25, we will look at possible ways
to improve the battery drain, performance
draw and data usage through various steps
both inside the Android OS as well
as in specific apps.

Analysis
If your phone’s battery doesn’t last through the day,
but you’ve barely even picked it up, a background
app that starts automatically might be at fault. The
10 automatically running apps you see to the left
had the most overall impact on battery life, traffic
and storage. Top spot, no surprise here, is yet
again, Facebook, with its background checks and
notifications; and The Weather Channel also makes
it into the Top 10 again. The preinstalled ChatON
app stuck out to us once more, as it’s still in the Top
10, despite being discontinued and replaced by the
Samsung Knox Message BETA everywhere
except for the US. No two ways about it:
if you’re not using it, get rid of it.
In this section, we discovered which apps had the most overall impact on mobile devices.

Analysis
Yet again, Snapchat takes the crown as well as
Spotify, Line and Amazon’s Shopping apps, in the
category of actively used apps with the heaviest
resource drain. Interesting: Newcomer, Microsoft
Outlook, seems to be responsible for a significant
amount of resource usage, which could very well
be caused by users actually checking it every other
minute or syncing it too frequently. If you’re living
inside Outlook, and feel like it’s draining your
resources too fast, go to the settings menu and
turn off notifications. Also make sure that it doesn’t
eat up your storage by limiting the synchronization
with your email to the last 30 days.

Analysis
The now long-deposed handset maker, BlackBerry,
continues to live on with its iOS and Android app,
BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), even enjoying an
ever-growing community. However, beware of its
side effects, because it continues to hold a spot in
the top 10 hidden startup apps with the highest
battery drain, going back to our very first
App Report from Q3/Q4 2014.

The Christmas and winter season seem to be
getting closer, as our shopping habits ramp up,
and we’re spending more time inside reading
books: that’s why two Amazon Shopping apps,
the Walmart app, and the BBC News app made
their way into the top 10.

Your favorite everyday apps could be using up more of
the precious limited storage on your device than you might realize.
Analysis
The official Google Search app stores more than its name
suggests, making you wonder why a search tool keeps
so much data stored locally. Our advice: use AVG Cleaner
for Android to fully delete the app and reinstall it if it’s
consuming too much space. Living in Japan? Then watch
out for your carrier NTT Docomo’s pre-installed email app
(SP-Mode Mail), which is one of most storage eating apps,
across the globe, and just slightly behind global apps,
such as Facebook and Kindle.

Analysis
This year, both Spotify Music and Google Chrome
kept their number 1 and 2 spots of apps that consume
the most space on your phone.
Why a Filters & Stickers app for LINE messenger is
consuming so much space, just behind a web browser
(which caches a complete website offline) and Spotify
(which could store GBs of music on your phone) is
beyond us: AVG App Manager, a feature of AVG
Cleaner for Android can keep an eye out for Filters &
Stickers storage consumption, and simply reinstall it
if it grows out of control, which will restore its
cached files. The other apps that shouldn’t
store so many files locally, are TripAdvisor
and Amazon’s shopping apps.

Many of the apps you love the most can impact heavily on your data plan, which is why
if you are watching your monthly bills, you might want to use these apps with care.
Analysis
It’s perfectly fine for Facebook, Instagram or radio
streaming service, iHeartRadio, to consume mobile traffic,
but if an antivirus app or the APUS Launcher consume your
data volume, it’s time to raise some eyebrows.

No surprise here: video streaming service, Netflix,
consumes the most mobile traffic among apps that
users actively run. What does come as a surprise,
however, is that Photo Editor by Aviary is in the top
10, which is likely due to its ability to share files across
all your social networks.

Many of the games you love the most can impact heavily on your

levels, you might want to choose when to use these apps.
Analysis
And King has been dethroned again: while still
holding ranks 2, 3 and 4 with its Candy Crush and
Farm Heroes Saga games, Clash of Clans is now
the top performance-consuming app. Newcomer,
Don’t Tap the White Tile, doesn’t display very
fancy graphics, yet continues to drain resources
more than hundreds of other games do on this list.

Analysis
Surprise, surprise! The top 15 most-installed apps across
all Android devices are all from Google, such as the built-
in Play Store, Hangouts, Chrome or Gmail, with one,
notable exception: Facebook, which is installed on 69%
of all Android devices, worldwide. That’s Surprisingly
low, given its dominance, but the rest of these users
either don’t use Facebook, or simply use the web version
in Google Chrome. The second app after Facebook and
its FB Messenger companion is WhatsApp, which is
installed on 51% of all Android users devices. Gaming
plays a big role in the mobile world, with Candy Crush
Saga installed on 15.8% of all smartphones measured.
Funny. It seems that both Samsung and HP managed
to sneak their printer support apps onto 20% and
13%,respectively, of all users’ smartphones.

Here are 7 easy steps to help you boost battery life,
stop storage eaters and save mobile traffic.
Limit notifications to save battery
life, performance and mobile data:
Phone notifications are one of the most useful
mobile inventions, giving users information
they need to know about new appointments
or messages at a glance. But not all of them
are useful, and they can consume resources.
Limit apps battery & performance drain:
Reduce background features, refresh intervals,
location usage or in-app notifications.
Free up space:
Apps collect clutter over time. Use AVG Cleaner
for Android to get rid of temporary files.
Reduce data traffic:
Turn off background data transfers or any offline
reading features within your app if you don’t want
it to consume mobile traffic.
Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS:
To save more battery life, turn off all the hardware
features you don’t need at any given moment.
Turn down brightness:
If you’re not in bright sunlight, we recommend turning
the brightness levels down to 50-70%.
Why? On many of today’s big phones and tablets,
the display is responsible for up to 80% of the
entire power consumption.
Get rid of performance-sapping apps:
Our AVG Cleaner for Android analyzes the top
battery, storage, and traffic-hogging apps on
your device. If you don’t need one of these apps,
you can easily uninstall it and look for more resource-
friendly alternatives.
We’ve put together a
comprehensive guide
for all consumers and
businesses looking to
address the issues
outlined in this report.
