Abstract:
There has been tremendous growth in the use of mobile devices over the last few years. This growth has fueled the development of millions of software applications for these mobile devices often called as 'apps'. Current estimates indicate that there are hundreds of thousands of mobile app development teams, and hundreds of millions of mobile app users, with billions of dollars at stake. Therefore, studying mobile apps has the potential for tremendous impact. In addition to the impact, mobile apps have three key differences to the other kinds of software that have traditionally been examined in SE research - (a) They are almost exclusively distributed through an app store, which allows for any developer to easily release their apps; (b) The users are able to give direct feedback to the developers through the review mechanism; and (c) Mobile apps are often free to download and are monetized through advertisements.
