This document evaluates and compares several cross-platform mobile application development tools. It develops test applications using tools like PhoneGap, Titanium, and Sencha Touch, and measures their performance in terms of memory usage, CPU usage, and power consumption. The results show that while PhoneGap alone has low resource requirements, using PhoneGap with Sencha Touch provides a good balance of a sophisticated user interface and moderate performance. The document contributes criteria for choosing a cross-platform tool beyond just portability.
Mobile Optimization Tips from Yottaa - MEGMeetup #1Yottaa
Google recently announced that it will be changing the way search results are ranked for mobile browsers. tl;dr to webmasters: stop phoning in your mobile site optimizations if you want to...well, reach people on their phones. Google's announcement makes three main points: first, mobile browsing comprises a significant part of web traffic; second, web performance optimization is critical to end user experience; and finally, end users demand a device-specific and complete mobile browsing experience.
In this talk we took a look at the recent and projected growth in mobile browsing, reviewed findings on how perceived and real performance problems impact users' browsing behavior, and provided useful tips and tools to maximize your site's mobile search ranking.

Agile methodologies in_project_managementPravin Asar
In today's unpredictable markets, companies are feeling the squeeze to achieve more with fewer resources in shorter periods of time. In addition to controlling operational costs, IT is looking to increase the value of information to make the business more profitable. So, necessity to complete and develop projects with changeable requirement ,short period of time ,easily to manage risk , adaptability to changing market requirements has become undeniable main principles for each organization ‘s approach .While traditional methodologies or heavy weight with huge bulk of documentation and long term for planning and designing significantly affects the speed of developing process and customer satisfaction. Hence, using innovative methods for building project are important matter which has introduced in the recent years. Light weight methodologies evolve to meet changing technologies and new demands from users in dynamic business environment.
As a result, agile methodologies and practices emerged as an explicit attempt to more formally embrace higher rates of requirements change.
Agile development methodologies claim to go a step further in overcoming the limitations of traditional one and coping with high speed and high changes on relationships with customers and responsiveness to changes of business processes.
This paper is an evaluation of the agile development methodologies. Furthermore, it includes a discussion about the critical success factors of the agile methodologies, reasons for its failure. A case-study gives a real-world success story.

In mobile app spaces, with all these evolving technologies and competitors, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 plays an important role in terms of delivering a seamless end-user experience. Improving performance has become the top priority for all global mobile app companies as it directly impacts user experience, retention rates, conversions, and ultimately revenue. Even if we deliver a brilliant feature with performance issues, people will eventually stop using those apps. As high-performing apps are user favourites, we testers should also adopt performance-centric strategies while testing mobile apps.
In this talk, you will learn about:
Basic types of mobile apps.
An overview of important performance metrics to consider.
Basics and importance of mobile app performance testing with trends and parameters.
Factors to consider while evaluating an app’s performance & ideas to prepare a performance-oriented testing strategy.

There are a number of options to undertake a successful mobile development, this presentation looks at some of the options available and testing strategy that can be adopted
My key note speech at Droidcon 2012 promoting DT's leadership in the Smartphone Challenge initiative.
Smartphones have catapulted the distribution of mobile apps to new highs with increased usage of mobile networks.
The Smartphone challenge project goal is to optimise the interaction between devices & networks
DT understand the threat from network intensive, badly designed applications and developed developer guidelines.
DT alone cannot influence the market and we decided to leverage the support of GSMA, industry affiliates and developers themselves.

Only PhoneGap PhoneGap +
Sencha Touch 2.0
PhoneGap +
JQuery Mobile
Titanium
Appcelerator
10. Memory Usage
• Proportional set size (PSS): PSS is the amount
of memory shared with other processes,
account in a way that the amount is divided
evenly between the processes that share it.
• Unique set size (USS): USS is the set of pages
that are unique to a process. This is the
amount of memory that would be freed if the
application gets terminated.
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 10
11. Memory Usage Results
Developed app PSS (kb) USS (kb)
PhoneGap only 12091 6036
PhoneGap + Jquery Mobile 14730 9424
PhoneGap + Sencha Touch 2.0 24526 20164
Titanium 17500 8676
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 11
• PhoneGap: no components for betterment of UI.
• PhoneGap + X: memory usage increases with the
addition of Jquery Mobile or Sencha Touch.
• Titanium: highest memory usage as it has full SDK.
12. CPU Usage
Two approaches
CPU snapshot taken
at each state of the
Activity life cycle.
Read a 'top' result
every second during
the whole life cycle
of the apps.

14. Interpretation of CPU Results
•Values are obtained when the apps are doing much computation.
•Thus obtained values are high.
•These values may vary a lot from a millisecond to other as they are
snapshot of very short time interval.
Snapshot
approach
•Min value is always zero. This is due to the fact that once the app
fetches the requested page and shows it, the app does not use any
CPU waiting for the next system input.
•The average value is computed using the total elapsed time.
Top command
approach
•The first app utilizes very less CPU as there is no additional
component for sophisticated user experience.
•When Sencha Touch or JQuery Mobile is used along with PhoneGap,
the CPU usage is more but the user experience is significantly better.
Comparison
among the apps
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 14
15. Power Consumption
• The values are obtained using Power Tutor
– Popular Android app
– Provides power consumption per app and per
interface (e.g. Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, display etc.)
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 15
16. Power Consumption Results
Developed app Power consumption values (mW)
PhoneGap + HTML + CSS tools 107
PhoneGap + JQuery + HTML 168
PhoneGap + Sencha Touch 2.0 120
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 16
17. Choice
• PhoneGap alone has limited memory, CPU and
power requirements.
– But the developed UI is not much sophisticated.
• PhoneGap with Sencha Touch works
significantly well in this case with moderate
CPU and power consumption.
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 17
18. Contributions
• This paper presents several criteria beyond
portability concerns to choose an appropriate
cross platform tool for development.
• We have developed Android apps with several
cross platform tools and measured the CPU
usage, memory usage & power consumption.
02-Jul-13 Soumya Kanti Datta 18
19. Conclusion
• Survey of cross platform tools
• Discussion on general requirements and
architecture
• Development of test applications
• Evaluation of such tools based on
– Memory & CPU
– Power consumption
• PhoneGap with Sencha Touch 2.0 is
recommended
