Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil segura. Estudio de caso: Información Tecnológica del Ecuador S.A.

Abstract

“Información Tecnológica del Ecuador S.A.” (“I.T. del Ecuador”) is a business that offers the installable software product “Control Gerencial / Web” (CG/Web) to support the critical processes management of businesses. Since 2019 it has been suffering of delays in the execution of processes that involve managerial level user actions due to their mobility needs. Like a solution, it was proposed develop CGApp, a native mobile application that provides remote access using WCF services. Mobile-D Software develop methodology along with practices focused in testing were applied for assuring the final product quality. DevExpress and the XamarinForms framework were applied to generate and maintain the look and feel of the CG/Web’s user interfaces and security standard MASVS v1.3 to offer a secure and trust environment. CGApp incorporates the most important manager level processes like purchase requests and order approval as well as vacation requests approval. For reviewing and approval process, the app integrates checks of data, update states and the functionality to notify events. This one is a valuable characteristic because it would influence on the decrement of “death times” in the managerial level user approval processes. The integration with CH/Web could be offered like a package allowing “I.T. del Ecuador” the possibility of presenting a more competitive and technologically categorized product in the national market.
