Abstract

Nowadays mobile applications has become in a precise and fast solution to give users information. With this background, this project offers an alternative for access to information related to accessible tourism, giving users the opportunity to visit accessible tourist sites for people with limited physical, visual and auditory disabilities in the Historic Center of Quito. The application offers the user the option of accessing information related to accessible tourist sites such as: price, opening hours, type of accessibility offered, exact location with an interactive map, sending comments and rate a place, in addition to the application offers a list of favorite places visited by the user. The project was developed using an agile SCRUM methodology, which allowed controlling and planning the development of the proposed application. User stories were used that were divided into 5 Sprints, Burndown graphics to visualize if the objectives set for each sprint were achieved. Finally, the performance tests were performed on the app, because of the server specifications can´t support more than 900 requests but this where resolved in an average time 268 milliseconds, which is the accepted average. We also develop usage test using online surveys, which showed good results satisfaction by the users in terms of design, use and functionality of the developed mobile application.
