Evaluating a GUI Development Tool for Internet of Things and Android
(2016) The 17th International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement p.181-197- Abstract
- In the emerging field of Internet of Things (IoT), where computerized devices are combined in creative new ways, there is a need to create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for the systems being built, e.g. in the form of Android “apps”. This is generally a complicated, time consuming task. We report from a controlled experiment that evaluates a new approach for building GUIs that aims to make it easier for more people to build quality GUIs. A tool supporting the new approach (GPE) was compared to Android Studio (AS), the industry standard for Android development. Our data analysis shows that GPE is more effective than AS when performing certain tasks, with no measurable degrade in the quality of the produced GUIs. We conclude that... (More)

We conclude that non-Android developers and Android developers alike should consider using GPE rather than AS when building Android GUIs for PalCom based IoT systems. (Less)
