A Mobile Software Quality Framework: How Quality Can Accelerate “Speed-to-Market”

The tradeoff between speed and quality in mobile software development is an illusion—or should be.

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.

A framework is presented here for using quality processes to accelerate development.
