Abstract:
Comparative studies between software multiplatform development frameworks lack a proper approach that can be replicated in future performance assessments. Moreover, there is still a deficit in performance comparison tools. Also, performance comparisons realized between mobile applications developed under these multiplatform frameworks should be done with applications running in Release Mode, which ends up not happening in most studies. The objective of this paper is thus to create a whole comparative process as correct and stable as possible, so that we can use it to safely assess performance of mobile applications developed with these frameworks. As a case study, we compare the well-known Flutter and React Native frameworks, and present the obtained results under the proposed approach. With this work, developers can not only assess both these particular frameworks, but also use the approach for further comparisons.
