Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil utilizando el Framework Flutter en Android para geolocalización de dependencias del sector público en la Ciudad de Nueva Loja

Abstract

This curriculum integration project focused on addressing the issue of geolocating public sector facilities in the city of Nueva Loja through the development of a mobile application. We utilized the agile SCRUM methodology which allowed the acquisition of key information for the proper development of the mobile app, defining a total of 26 functional requirements and 3 non-functional requirements. After conducting a comparative study of different development technologies, the Flutter framework and Dart programming language were selected. Subsequently, the quality of a software product was evaluated, with a particular focus on the usability feature according to ISO/IEC 25010 standards. To achieve this, a survey consisting of 10 questions based on Arnold Lund's USE questionnaire and James R. Lewis's PSSUQ was administered. When analyzing the results, it was found that the learning sub-characteristic scored 19.86 out of 21, with an acceptance percentage of 37% above the established baseline. Regarding protection against user errors, a score of 26.99 out of 28 was obtained, with an acceptance percentage of 39%. Regarding aesthetics, a score of 19.96 out of 21 was recorded, with an acceptance percentage of 37%. These results conclude that the mobile application has a pleasant interface, is easy to learn and use, provides a satisfactory user experience, and has the capability to prevent and mitigate usage errors. This successfully achieved the primary objective, enhancing the user experience in locating public entities in the city and visualizing the respective data, resulting in a satisfying experience. It is recommended to review the documentation for any questions about functionalities or in case of maintenance requests for the application.
