ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present
a narrative role methodology based on different people’s opinions,which is now implemented in our
research environment for the purpose of testing novel techniques, the usability
testing of most common used smart phones such as Android and Apple smart phone
application. This research analysis is carried out for various corresponding
features to compare or evaluate different features on the basis of modern smart
phones’ operating system, framework for hardware and software, battery life and
many more features. Usability testing of smart phones’ software application is
a promising research context that nowadays faces a number of challenges because
of sole features of mobile phones, narrow bandwidth, varying environmental
factors and unreliability of wireless connection or networks. A number of
questionings are applied to accumulate user’s opinion about ongoing features.
Users of Android and Apple smart phones reply by answering based on their
routine life usage experience. In this paper, we will also elaborate and
provide a new proposed model for mobile devices.
