User Interaction Metrics for Hybrid Mobile Applications

July 24, 2018

Understanding user behavior and interactions in mobile applications are critical for developers to understand where to spend limited resources when adding, updating, and testing features.

Google Analytics and New Relic provide user insights, but they fall short when it comes to identifying user interactions and behaviors pertaining to mobile applications' individual features. We have developed a framework with middleware that provides user interaction insights, using time-series analysis for hybrid mobile applications and an empirical study to showcase the value of the framework.
