Mobile Application Development Methodologies - The New MobileSmith Method

App developers around the world use differing methodologies for creating and testing their software for IOS and Android platforms. MobileSmith has recently published a six-step process for app development including: 1) Design and Build Native Apps in AppCanvas, 2) Build Apps for iPad and Smartphones Within the Same Project, 3) Streamlined App Versioning in your Enterprise App Store, 4) Manage App Development Projects Easily in AppOffice™, 5) Platform Extensions: Include Existing Native or HTML5 Code, and 6) Seamlessly Integrate Apps with the Data Sources.

Data streaming is set up directly between your backend system server and the mobile devices, bypassing the MobileSmith server. MobileSmith provides a simple set of instructions to help you deliver your data in the XML format the apps require.  When you assemble your app, the AppBlock intended to interface with your system is configured with a URL that pulls that data from the backend server. Your AppBlock becomes “RSS on steroids” as data is pulled directly into the mobile device and displayed in the app UI according to the data mapping rules you define. MobileSmith can provide secure and reliable SOAP and REST connectors to your web-based or legacy systems. Our modular adapters will utilize your existing APIs to quickly access and translate your data into the XML format used by our platform. You can configure the MobileSmith CMS to automatically refresh your data at various intervals (daily, weekly, etc.) or you can refresh your content on-demand in MobileSmith AppOffice™ (your cloud-based CMS). Which methodology offers the most effective means for app design and testing? Share your comments with the Smartphone and Tablet Zone.
