| Summary: | Studies related to resource consumption of mobile devices and mobile applications have been brought to
the fore lately as mobile applications depend largely on their resource consumption. The study aims to
identify the key factors and holistic understanding of how a factor influences Consumption Pattern (CP)
effectiveness for an android platform mobile application. The study presents a Systematic Literature
Review (SLR) on existing studies that examined factors influencing the effectiveness of CP for android
mobile application and measured the effectiveness of CP. Therefore, the current SLR is conducted to
answer the following questions: (1) What is the evidence of CP factors that drain the battery of a mobile
device? (2) What are the energy conservation techniques to overcome all the factors that drain battery life?
and (3) How can developers measure the effectiveness of an energy conservation technique?. The SLR
investigated factors affecting the effectiveness of CP for android platform mobile application. The analyses
of forty papers were used in our synthesis of the evidence related to the research questions above.
Therefore, the analyses showed 22 studies that investigated how to measure the energy conservation
technique effectiveness while 18 studies focused on better understanding of how the resources of mobile
devices are actually spent. In this sense, 2 studies show the effectiveness of early analysis of software
application design. Additionally, five factors i.e., architecture, interface, behavior of the application,
resources, and network technologies that affect CP effectiveness were identified. This study investigated a
SLR targeting at studies of CP effectiveness in android platform. The total of 40 studies were identified and
selected for result synthesis purpose in this work (SLR). The evidences show there are five factors affecting
the CP’s effectiveness. Three of them have received a little attention among developers regarding choosing
the most suitable: software architecture, application interface and behavior of the application in terms of
resource consumption. |
