Abstract
Mobile application development for cross platform has been struggling with the increase in numbers of mobile devices and their specifications (i.e. screen sizes, resolutions etc.). Model-Driven Development (MDD) is a significant method to cope with this problem and allow the ultimate solution to change management as well. MDD is the next level in harnessing UML and development environments to manage software development. Although researchers have devised many MDD techniques, languages and tools in the domain of mobile application development. Our conjecture to the best of our knowledge is, no research study is available yet that analyzes and summarizes the modern trends, tools and techniques in this context. Therefore, in this article, we performed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that recognizes 30 studies (2013–2018) where MDD is utilized for MAD. This leads to identification of 11 models, and 21 tools. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of MDD tools for mobile application is presented. The researchers and practitioners of mobile application domain shall find these findings amply valuable.
