Software Development

Let us look at how Maven teams sort the evaluation of various factors that impact the project:

• Nature of project :

  • Mobile Only : Low dependency (e.g. of publicly defined interfaces that are already in production)
  • Mobile + Server Development: Increases dependencies as mobile and server are dependent on data and interfaces of each other
  • Integration : Integration of mobile, multiple middle-ware and services platforms and backend.

• Mobile platform :

  • Single platform or Cross platform : A single codebase and/or target platform. In case of cross platform development, tools such as PhoneGap and Xamarin enable the development of a single codebase to target multiple platforms
  • Multi-platform : Native application targeting more than one platform. Multiple code bases each implementing the same functionalities need to be development and maintained.

• Nature of Requirements :

  • Evolving (Media, Digital Life) : Flexible development. Features are developed in short sprint and are subject to change.
  • Early Definition with fewer changes (Enterprise, Workflow, Content or Line of Business, Banking or Finance) : Requirements can be tweaked, but overall the features and goals remain constant.
