Lionbridge White Paper
The tradeoff between speed and quality in mobile software development is an illusion -- or should be. A framework is presented for using quality processes to accelerate development and speed to market.
Today’s mobile software companies face a daunting challenge: How can they achieve quality while getting to market swiftly? After all, speed is king in the mobile market. New technologies are constantly being introduced; new mobile device platforms are emerging at a prodigious rate; competitors are constantly “one-upping” each other in an ever-escalating arms race of new features and interfaces. Recent developments have seen the advent of widespread 3G networks, location-based services, onboard accelerometers, Web-based operating systems, the first widely available open source Linux-based mobile operating system, Near Field Communications enabled devices, advanced touch-based interfaces, and the list goes on.
