In developing the applications of the newest cellular phones, while the period of the development has been getting shorter, the software structure has become more complicated, it has been getting tougher to test, with a variety of functions and sumptuous graphics to fulfill consumers, and the software structure has been greatly changed with the changing software platforms and the using of various devices. Therefore, the new development paradigm has been needed to solve these problems fundamentally.
By applying a MDA approach to the development of cellular phones, first, portability and interoperability were enhanced with designing all sorts of cell-phone requirements in a platform as an independent model using the modeling tool, the second repetitive, time-consuming test was changed conveniently and fast with automation, whether there are errors or not was ascertained before the creation of a source code through the test tool, and third, the source code that is suitable for a specific platform was created easily and fast by using a code generation transformation tool. In addition, the development process was integrated so modeling, simulation, and test could be conducted at the same time in one single operation.
This cell-phone development approach has enabled to put the product consumers desire on the market and to produce the product with higher quality. The manufacturer with this technology comes to have more competitiveness than other cell-phone manufacturers.
