Enterprise Applications are typically no more than a User Interface to a set of complex back-end systems. They allow Systems of Record to become Systems of Interaction by putting the records and the ability to interact with them in the palm of your hand. A good User Experience with such a Mobile App requires designing the entire end-to-end architecture with the User Interaction in mind. What is your enterprise mobile apps’ back-end? Is it a single ‘black-box’ serving up data via REST calls? Or is it a set of back-ends, communicating with your app’s UI via multiple APIs. Does your back-end include services that require you to change your app’s UI every time it gets updated? Does the nature of your back-end impact how you build your app, impact the UI design decisions you need to take? How do you test all your back-end(s) for functionality and performance? How do you integrate all these pieces together? How do you provide a good User Experience? As you build complex mobile apps, the architecture of your complete end-to-end system – Backend to UI – becomes critical to your application’s success. This presentation will help attendees identify key architectural decisions that they need to take early in their mobile app development lifecycle to help address these challenges, reduce risk and cost and enhance the User Experience. It will do so by presenting examples of successful architectures of mobile apps and explore key decisions they took and why.
Speaker notes Dynamic instrumentation of Android and iOS Mobile Applications Capture and high-fidelity replay of multi-touch events Automated mobile function testing IBM Rational is announcing the launch of the Rational Test Workbench family BETA program in March of 2013, featuring support for mobile test automation. Combined with enhanced functional GUI, integration, performance testing, and service virtualization features, Rational Test Workbench delivers an end-to-end test automation solution for your mobile, multi-tiered and multichannel application environments. The accelerated delivery cycles of mobile applications requires fast and effective test cycles. Whether you are developing native, web, or hybrid applications Rational Test Workbench simplifies the development of mobile tests with code-less tests scripts and visual editing. Our integrated quality management solution enables the collaboration between your application/process SMEs and test automation experts to identify, create, and manage the most effective set of test scenarios for your development iterations. Mobile applications are increasingly deployed within complex business processes. For example, your mobile device may be used to place or modify and order that navigates through many layers of the backend system. The mobile client might also duplicate functions of an on-line ordering portal. Rational Test Workbench delivers a full range of test automation capability so you can validate the end-to-end quality of these multi-tiered, multi-channel systems. Leveraging the power of Eclipse, teams will be able to quickly move from the creation of a Worklight application, to testing within Rational Test Workbench. Integration with the Rational ALM solution provides traceability across requirements and defects for full visibility and control of the software delivery lifecyle. We are seeking mobile delivery teams that can evaluate these features of the Rational Test Workbench and potential integrations with IBM Worklight within their software quality environment. Please visit the link above to apply for access to our BETA program. What are we announcing and why is this news worthy? Is IBM first to market, does it position IBM well above the competition, is it unique and innovative to mobile? What are the key new features or capabilities we are announcing, and how are they going to help our clients accelerate their mobile strategy? Describe a simple scenario where this new offering or initiative might be used. Describe a current obstacle a customer might have in adopting mobile, and how the new feature helps remove or reduce that obstacle.
