A Case of Engineering Quality for Mobile Healthcare Applications Using Augmented Personal Software Process Improvement

Abstract EN

Mobile healthcare systems are currently considered as key research areas in the domain of software engineering.

The adoption of modern technologies, for mobile healthcare systems, is a quick option for industry professionals.

Software architecture is a key feature that contributes towards a software product, solution, or services.

Software architecture helps in better communication, documentation of design decisions, risks identification, basis for reusability, scalability, scheduling, and reduced maintenance cost and lastly it helps to avoid software failures.

Hence, in order to solve the abovementioned issues in mobile healthcare, the software architecture is integrated with personal software process.

Personal software process has been applied successfully but it is unable to address the issues related to architectural design and evaluation capabilities.

Hence, a new technique architecture augmented personal process is presented in order to enhance the quality of the mobile healthcare systems through the use of architectural design with integration of personal software process.

The proposed process was validated by case studies.

It was found that the proposed process helped in reducing the overall costs and effort.

Moreover, an improved architectural design helped in development of high quality mobile healthcare system.
