Quality Evaluation of Mobile GIS for Data Collection

Abstract

High-quality software has to fulfil stakeholders’ requirements identified in a requirement engineering process.This paper presents an overview of requirements regarding mobile Geographic Information System for data collection, which have been extracted based on literature, standards and existing apps in the market. The quality model ISO/IEC 25010 was explored using measures stated in the ISO/IEC 25023 standard. A checklist that marks the influence of each requirement on the quality characteristics and sub-characteristics has been established in order to calculate three degrees of the requirements influence on the external product quality of mobile GIS. The result obtained show that requirements related to online data access have the highest impact on the external quality characteristics whereas functional suitability and usability are the most influenced characteristics by the requirements.
