Optimization of mobile applications through a feedback-based quality assurance approach

With an approach for mobile application development that is based on developing a minimal set of functions in order to realize a minimum viable product (MVP), it is possible to put a product on the market within a short amount of time. Nevertheless, this beneficial short time to market often involves poor quality of the developed application. Currently, the elicitation, analysis, and processing of user feedback are unfocused and take too much time and effort to mitigate the poor quality of the application. Hence, we outline an approach aimed at tailored quality assurance as part of MVP development, which enables and expands the benefits of MVP by providing a semi-automated feedback elicitation, analysis, and processing framework. This is intended to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of early user feedback consideration during further development in order to assure the quality and acceptance of a minimalistically developed mobile application.
