Abstract

The paper targets on usability testing comparison of two different models used in mobile applications' development. We first present the most popular models used in mobile applications' development. We compare two of them, i.e., the web applications' and the hybrid applications' model, respectively based on qualitative and quantitative usability evaluation criteria. Finally, we present and evaluate the corresponding experimental corresponding results.
