Análisis Comparativo de Productividad de los SDK Android y Windows Phone para la Aplicación Móvil del Sistema Académico OASIS.

Abstract

The Department of Information Technology and Communication of "Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo" watching the progress of mobile devices and considering the problem of mobility in the web application of Oasis academic system, they proposed making a mobile application to resolve the situation. Meetings took place, the number of features to develop was established and the platforms that they were selected were Android and Windows Phone. The main objective of this work is to perform a comparative analysis between Android and Windows Phone SDK to determine the platform with higher productivity in the development of the mobile application of OASis academic system (OASis mobile). We perform the capture of time (H - hours) and capturing the number of "lines of code" (LDC) of each feature using the tools: CLOC and DevelopmentTime which was developed by the authors of the present work; when the data was obtained, we performed descriptive statistics on the productivity ratio (LDC / H) having Android averaging of 221 LDC / H and 218 LDC/H for Windows Phone, both having similar average SDK with a difference of 2%. Applying statistical inference, we obtained that both SDK are statistically equally productive and thus rejecting the initial hypothesis of the research indicating that "the use of Windows Phone SDK will allow higher productivity than the Android SDK to develop the mobile application for OASis academic system".
