Abstract

The objective of this work is to study the QoS and QoE of web services APIs consumed by mobile mashup applications. The study focuses on collecting and analyzing QoS and QoE indicators. The methodology used for the development of this work is experimental: an experience has been carried out that allowed for collecting the study data. For this purpose, a mobile mashup was developed that consumes three REST APIs and a library that allows collecting QoS and QoE indicators. The study was carried out for 60 days, and 1.012 indicator values were collected. The obtained results prove that performing a partial analysis of QoS and QoE, considering indicators in isolation, can lead to inaccurate conclusions, a more comprehensive analysis and evaluation should be carried out, taking into account the greater number of factors that affect QoS and QoE.
