“…Pre-Planning [27], [38], Pre Release Planning [27], Span Plan [22], and Plan Parallel Iteration [46] were also considered as Planning since their main goal was to define what would integrate an iteration. For the planning period, UI design and user stories are delivered to the development team and they can use them to estimate how much effort they need for the next iteration [21].…”

Abstract-The integration of Agile and User-Centered Design methods is a fundamental condition to improve the quality of software products. However, one of the main problems faced to establish this integration on a day-to-day basis is how to improve communication among the invariably distinct involved teams. We believe that the artifacts involved in the development process could be used to support and increase teams' communication.To better understand this scenario, we performed a systematic mapping study on artifacts and their role in the communication between Agile and User-Centered Design fields. Through the analysis of 56 papers dealing with this specific topic, we present the artifacts used for communication in these approaches and software development events when they are used. The analyzed studies reinforced our beliefs about the importance of artifacts to improve teams' communication.

“…They are mobile-D [1], hybrid agile methodology [4], MADeM [3], intermod [9], MDA [8.9] and Agile [9]. These methodologies were introduced in order to provide structure in supporting rapid changes in stakeholder's requirements and to obtain immediate user feedback [3], as well as to improve effectiveness through reduction of redundant software code.…”

Abstract-Mobile application development is receiving much attention nowadays. With the enhancement of mobile application tools like an Android studio, etc. and kinds of online support, the development of the mobile application is getting easier. Indeed, mobile application development is not a trivial task. When given a particular problem, a novice mobile programmer will commonly sketch the mobile interface followed by coding. The rapid prototyping technique and trial from errors have led to issues such as poor domain understanding. We argue that a complete understanding of the domain is needed for mobile application development. Hence, requirements engineering is an important phase. This paper introduces a technique to assist mobile application development through Agent-Oriented Requirements Engineering (AORE). AORE consists of goal modelling to analyse and understand a mobilebased project. With goal modelling, AORE allows a modeller to identify and analyse the functionalities and non-functionalities of the system and present a holistic view of the proposed system. It showcases the services, operations and constraints of the proposed system. AORE is a useful part of the development phase and can complement current steps in mobile application development lifecycle.Keywords-requirement engineering for mobile application, agent-oriented modelling, functional and non-functional requirement IntroductionThe emerging of mobile technology like Android and ios has changed the way people use and deal with technology. With the mobile application, it changes the way people interact with the digital information; improve social interaction; faster transform people in digital society. In this case, people use a mobile phone to access to news; attend the meeting; attend course online; entertainment and interact with others. Although lots of mobile application tools have been introduced, mobile application development is still suffering from some inadequacies. This is due to the nature that, the evolution of mobile technology is fast with the emerging of various 32

“…Additionally, the HCI technique catalogue had to be expanded because ASDPs have adopted techniques listed in the catalogue, which, however, they have applied in SE development stages other than those specified in the HCI catalogue. For example, Losada et al [28] [29] propose designing questionnaires, surveys and interviews as part of the requirements elicitation activities.…”

Abstract-Context: Over the last decade there has been a growing interest in the integration of agile software development process (ASDP) and user-centred design (UCD). However, there are no papers that study which usability techniques related to requirements engineering are being adopted in the ASDP, and there are no formalized proposals for their adoption. Objective: Identify which techniques related to requirements engineering activities are being adopted in the ASDP and determine how they are being adopted. Method: We have conducted a systematic mapping study (SMS) to retrieve the literature reporting the application of usability techniques in the ASDP. We analysed these techniques using a catalogue of techniques compiled by software engineering researchers. We then determined the manner in which the techniques that are being used in the ASDP were adopted. Results: The agile community is very much interested in adopting usability techniques. The most used techniques are Personas, contextual inquiry and prototyping. Conclusions: This research offers an overview of the adoption of usability techniques related to requirements engineering in ASDPs and reports how they are being adopted. We found that some of the techniques are being adapted for adoption.
