Description

Open data and mobile applications are popular topics nowadays. European countries have combined these two concepts by implementing applications based on Open Data. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the introduction of these topics in Latin America. It is achieved by creating a mobile application that uses data from a Latin American open data platform. This application offers information about indicators similar to mobile applications developed for the statistical office of the European Union. These are the stages of the project to meet its goal. First, this report looks for an open data project in Latin America, which provides information to implement indicators. Besides, it researches the technologies used to develop the application. Second, it describes the software development cycle used to implement the mobile application which includes the following phases. It starts with the definition and planning of the project. This phase includes an analysis to mitigate the risks that the project could have faced. The next two phases are focused on the design and implementation of software. The last phase explains the testing implemented over the mobile application. In order to guarantee the quality of the application, this phase is executed using automatic testing tools. Third, this document includes a discussion composed of two sections including evaluation and reflections. The former contains the evaluation of the final product, and the later analyzes the execution of the project. The information in the different sections of this report supports this discussion. Finally, it highlights some conclusions of this project, and suggests additional features for the application.
