Abstract
With the rapid development of communication technologies, the uses of mobile apps have increased in a significant manner over the past few years. Every day many different types of mobile apps are uploaded to mobile application markets. However, it is very difficult for the apps to stay competitive and survive in these marketplaces. Covering the requirements fitting the needs of users is one of significant factors in mobile apps’ success in the market. In this regard, this study aims to use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the use cases for the development of mobile apps. The results show that AHP provides an efficient tool which can be used to determine importance of the requirements in mobile apps considering users’ preferences.
