  • An Empirical Investigation of Performance Overhead in Cross-Platform Mobile Development Frameworks
    Empirical Software Engineering https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-020-09827-6 An empirical investigation of performance overhead in cross-platform mobile development frameworks Andreas Biørn-Hansen1,2 · Christoph Rieger3 · Tor-Morten Grønli1 · Tim A. Majchrzak4 · Gheorghita Ghinea1,2 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The heterogeneity of the leading mobile platforms in terms of user interfaces, user expe- rience, programming language, and ecosystem have made cross-platform development frameworks popular. These aid the creation of mobile applications – apps – that can be executed across the target platforms (typically Android and iOS) with minimal to no platform-specific code. Due to the cost- and time-saving possibilities introduced through adopting such a framework, researchers and practitioners alike have taken an interest in the underlying technologies. Examining the body of knowledge, we, nonetheless, frequently encounter discussions on the drawbacks of these frameworks, especially with regard to the performance of the apps they generate. Motivated by the ongoing discourse and a lack of empirical evidence, we scrutinised the essential piece of the cross-platform frameworks: the bridge enabling cross-platform code to communicate with the underlying operating system and device hardware APIs. The study we present in the article benchmarks and mea- sures the performance of this bridge to reveal its associated overhead in Android apps. The development of the artifacts for this experiment was conducted using five cross-platform development frameworks to generate Android apps, in addition to a baseline native Android app implementation. Our results indicate that – for Android apps – the use of cross-platform frameworks for the development of mobile apps may lead to decreased performance com- pared to the native development approach.

Many mHealth applications use mobile phones built-in GPS, accelerometer and other sensors which allows for a large selection of work to compare the implemented exercise capacity test to [1]. The exercise capacity tests developed for this thesis is to be used in Mobistudy. Mobis- tudy is an open mobile-health platform for clinical research. The platform has an emphasis on regulatory compliance, patient consent and transparency [3]. The thesis resulted in the creation of two artifacts which were able to successfully collect data from the user to transfer to the clinicians using the application. During the analysis it was found that the SMWT algorithm developed by Salvi et al [4] worked well under non optimal conditions. The Queens College Step Tests result were in general poor, however more testing with more different phones is required to provide a clear answer. 0.1 Definitions mHealth: Mobile health involves sensors, mobile apps, social media, and location-tracking technology used in disease diagnosis, prevention, and management [2].

  • Web Application Development with Vue.Js
    Web application development with Vue.js Tomi Kumpulainen Bachelor’s Thesis February 2021 Information and Communication Technology Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Information and Communications Tech- nology Description Author(s) Type of publication Date Kumpulainen, Tomi Bachelor’s Thesis February 2021 Language of publication English Number of pages Permission for web publi- 56 cation: x Title of publication Web application development with Vue.js Degree programme Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Information and Communications Technology Supervisor(s) Manninen, Pasi; Niemi, Kari Assigned by Zaibatsu Interactive Oy Abstract The goal of the thesis was to engineer a learning tool in the form of a web application, which could be used to educate the most important features of the Vue.js ecosystem to an employee or a trainee more efficiently than the official documentation by focusing on the SFC syntax instead of the regular syntax used in the official documentation. The thesis was assigned by Zaibatsu Interactive Oy to complement their Self Dev program, which allows the employees of the company to use 5 % of their monthly worktime for developing their professional skills in a volitional manner. This goal was realized by carefully selecting the concepts discussed in the learning tool by critically evaluating the official documentation and designing the content of the learning tool based on the findings to build an efficient documentation covering the basics from the perspective of a SFC syntax user, which eliminates the need to interpret the official docu- mentation on a case-by-case basis. The learning tool was created by using the Vue.js ecosystem to build a PWA, which allows the web application to be used on any device with a standards-compliant browser and re- gardless of an active internet connection.

Software yang cepat, akurat, reliabilitas tinggi serta mudah diimplementasikan menjadi faktor pemilihan software. Oleh karena itu, dikembangkan software pengelola transaksi dengan menggunakan PWA (Progressive Web Apps). Alasan memanfaatkan PWA karena dapat memenuhi kebutuhan software yang dibutuhkan oleh pengguna. Secara garis besar, kelebihan PWA ini terletak pada bagian notifikasi, dapat diakses secara offline, memiliki performa yang bagus, sistem keamanan yang bagus (karena harus menggunakan HTTPS), dan dapat diterapkan pada web. Penerapan PWA ini juga sama seperti memakai aplikasi di smartphone. Uji coba dalam pengembangan ini dilakukan dengan dua metode, yaitu Performance Testing dan Functionality Testing. Hasil uji coba menyatakan bahwa web akuntansi dengan PWA mempunyai kecepatan yang hampir sama dengan native tetapi User Experience PWA lebih baik dibandingkan aplikasi native. Hasil dari Functionality Testing menunjukan Web App dapat berjalan dengan baik sesuai fungsi setiap fitur. Kata Kunci: Progressive Web Apps, Porto, SAP, website, Quasar. The Use of Progressive Web Apps on Accounting Web Abstract Software for managing transaction data into financial statements is widely used in various business sectors. Software which is fast, accurate, high reliability and easy to implement is a software selection factor. Therefore, transaction management software was developed using PWA (Progressive Web Apps).

But financial stability isn’t the only thing that Vue has helped us with: hap- piness among our employees has soared and so has our sense of community, while our clients are astonished with the speed of development and the quality of the end results—all of which are priceless for a software development company like Monterail. And we owe it all to Vue. The first State of Vue.js report was downloaded over 8,000 times by people from all around the world. The NPS (net promoter score) from that edition equaled 8.3 which is an amazing score for a book like that. It was apparent that such a report was needed and we thought it would be a good idea to develop it further and updated from time to time. Like its predecessor, this new, revised edition of the report was created for three main reasons.
