Android電話系統開發流程之探討－以A公司為例

Abstract

從Google把Android開放式平台及相關配套策略推入行動通訊產業之後，吸引了眾多廠商加入開發，在問世短短不到三年中，便躍居智慧型手機的主流平台，與蘋果電腦的iPhone分庭抗禮。電話系統（Telephony system）是行動通訊裝置不可或缺的核心元件，主掌語音電話、簡訊、數據傳輸、電話簿以及SIM卡相關功能，它也是開發Android平台智慧型手持式裝置的關鍵技術。本論文結合實務經驗與軟體工程理論提出一個在Android平台上開發電話系統的標準化流程，來幫助維繫軟體品質並提升團隊開發效率。本論文也以國內某國際品牌廠A公司為例，分析其透過此流程開發智慧型手持式行動裝置，在開發效率提升以及軟體品質改善都獲得顯著成效。本論文的結果應可作為其他開發團隊或欲投入此領域開發團隊之有用參考。

After Google introduced the open platform of Android and its related strategies into mobile communication industry, many manufactures were attracted to join the development. Therefore, less than 3 years since it came out, Android has rapidly become the dominant platform of smartphones as a counterweight to iOS. The telephony system is the core component of a mobile device. It takes charge of calls, messages (SMS/MMS), data connections, the phone book, and is also responsible for the functions used by SIM Toolkit. Therefore, telephony system is also the key technology for Android handset development. To improve code quality assurance and development efficiency, this thesis studies on both practical experiences and software engineering theories, and further provides a methodology as a standard process for developing telephony system on Android platform. A global brand firm, A Inc., is used as case study illustrations in this thesis. Its development environment and process are reviewed and some development issues are discussed. The case concludes up with beneficiaries of adopting the methodology in practices. Finally, the research result of this thesis would be expected as a useful reference for other development teams.
