Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of choosing an optimal mobile software development method from the standpoint of the scientific discipline Human Computer Interaction. A comparative analysis of various strategies in the development of mobile software from a usability standpoint was performed. Firstly, the usability, principles of user interface design and user experience in mobile systems were defined, and then individual strategies were evaluated based on these elements. The conclusion is that in order to achieve a high usability interface, the native programming paradigm is optimal, followed by hybrid and finally progressive web technologies.
