Chapter 2 GatherinG requirements Mobility Requirements Nowadays you should be future ready. BXPs support native applications, that is, a smartphone application developed specifically for a mobile operating system as well as hybrid applications (i.e., a hybrid application at its core is websites packed into a native wrapper). You have to consider mobility requirements while developing the DXP application. Table 2-7. Mobility User Story Name Mobility trigger the customer should be able to access the BXp application on android and iOs platforms along with web support. script as a customer, one will be able to download a BXp mobile application from iOs app-store and android play store. acceptance the customer will be able to download the BXp application to a mobile device and criteria be able to access all functionality provided on a web application through the mobile application. The DXP supports responsive, native as well as hybrid applications approach. While designing a responsive application, you need to consider the mobile-first approach. From a general point of view, mobile designing is the hardest as compared with other devices, in view of the small screen to which you can provide essential features. In an opposite approach, if you design the all-inclusive right from the start, the core and supplementary elements merge and it will become difficult to distinguish and separate. Mobile first is equivalent to content first, due to limited screen size and bandwidth; therefore you should prioritize content. A responsive web approach would have a lack of interaction with mobile features like sensors, camera, etc. Native applications and hybrid applications provide additional features to interact with device hardware, for example, fingerprint readers, camera, etc. Consider a scenario where you want to give a notification feature to your user: a native application or hybrid application is configured with push notifications features, so whenever a user does a transaction, these applications push notification to the user’s mobile device. A hybrid application has the advantage of a single code base, which makes it compatible with all browsers and 41
