challenges
Delivering high quality apps that engage users
Developing for multiple mobile platforms
and meet business objectives
Highly fragmented set of platforms, Poor quality can negatively
devices, languages, and tools impact brand image
increases cost and complexity of Bad ratings and comments
development and test can cause other users to
Choosing not to support one or more avoid trying an app
platforms reduces the reach of an
application
Integrating with enterprise systems Meeting accelerated time to market requirements
Recreating instead of leveraging Hand-off errors and delays
existing business logic increases between teams slows progress
maintenance costs and risk of and responsiveness to
inconsistent behavior features and fixes
Lack of ready back-end services Misalignment of stakeholders
slows front-end development results in late rework and
and increases potential for last increased cycle times
minute integration issues

14. Mobile software development is a team
sport
Software development involves a team of people
with diverse skills using different tools
– Design, development, test, operations, etc.
Tools can make or break collaboration
– Fragmented tools create silos
– Integrated tools break down barriers
Effective development depends on …
– Defined goals
– Transparency of progress and quality trends
– Aligning teams across the entire application
development lifecycle

15. For any team, silos create barriers to
effective software delivery
1. Business
2. Development 3. Operations*

16. Application lifecycle management (ALM) is the
discipline of overcoming these silos to realize
a whole-team, whole-view approach to the
software delivery cycle.
Mobile development
ALM manages the requires the adoption of
flow of: Agile practices to
1. Business keep up with demand
People for frequent releases
Process
Information
2. Development 3. Operations*

Agile ALM Usage Scenarios for Mobile
development teams
End-to-end process; highlighting capabilities relevant to mobile development and delivery
Build and package for test
• Build the app based on integrated
changes from the team Deploy to Dev and Test environment
• Build for each target platform • Build deploys to the mobile app
server-side, and ‘app store’
Add requirement to the plan • Device under test retrieves app
• Add item to sprint plan
• Update test plan
Manual testing
Elaborate requirement and review • Launch emulator / device and
• Review seeded artifacts; focus on perform manual integration test Fix bug and simulate
linkage and UI sketching/storyboard • Find problem and fix
• Perform final approval to close out a Construct and simulate • Preview using mobile simulator
review • Review design from the IDE • Check in and deliver code
• Code using visual editor
• Preview using mobile simulator
• Check in and deliver code

19. Lifecycle techniques to help optimize user
experience
Improve collaboration and communications between line-of-business
stakeholders and development team
Ensure that development understands and will deliver an app that meets
business objectives
Engage non-technical stakeholders
Improve collaboration to find a cheaper yet satisfying solution
Put more focus on the application design and conceptualization phase
Iterate during the phase of the lifecycle when it is cheapest to make changes, not
when the code is done and changes require drastic re-architecture
Use UI sketching, storyboarding, and business process diagrams
Improves communications – “a picture is worth a thousand words”
Avoid over-elaboration with sketches; focus on high-level, big-picture issues
Ensure proper application flow and interactions with business process diagrams

20. Communicate an outside-in user
experience spec
Collaborate as a team
using comments and
annotations
Get feedback from non-
technical stakeholders

21. Testing the end-to-end mobile
solution
Client Tier Devices Middle Tier Server Back-end Data & Services
Testing involves much more than just the mobile front-end

22. RTW supports isolating tiers of the app for
focused mobile testing
Test Virtualization
Rational Test Workbench support for isolating
mobile client tier
For focused automated mobile client tier functional testing,
use RTW Test Virtualization to simulate the mobile middle tier
and back office systems.

23. Deep Application Instrumentation for Mobile Function Test
Mobile Testing Tech Preview
Application instrumentation libraries provide a transparent overlay for user interaction with the mobile app.
Architecture adheres to adapter model followed by other Rational quality management products.
Architecturally, our approach is to have an
adapter that deals with all mobile devices. An
extension specific to the mobile platform
resides on the device. Event capture and
playback services together with UI elements
constitute each extension.
Recorder Service
iPhone Android
Extn Extn Instrument Player Service
Keyboard Service
Logging Debugging
Communication Layer
Componentized View of Extension
Key Goals for Mobile Test Automation
Dynamic Instrumentation of Android Mobile Applications (without requiring source/static enablement)
Adapter model with specific extensions for multiple mobile platforms
Capture with high-fidelity replay of multi-touch events

24. Integrating with existing
systems
IBM CONFIDENTIAL
• Mobile applications need to connect to enterprise back-end data and services
• Existing programs and services may need to be modified for the mobile app
• Multiple skills will be involved, responsible for different parts of the mobile
application

25. Rational IDEs with IBM Worklight
Design, code, build, test, and deploy mobile apps that run on a
wide variety of mobile platforms; extend existing back-end
services and data to mobile apps
