Benchmarking Common Architectural Patterns in iOS Development
Mobile applications have exploded in popularity in the last decade. Building a mobile appli-cation can cost between a thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore, developers should consider some major factors before developing an application whether it is application design, list of features, development time or market research. One of the most important factors is the application architecture. Good architecture can bring many benefits to the application. Some can help define separate roles and responsibilities amongst components whereas the others may result in better testability. Therefore, the major objective of this thesis is to study and demonstrate some most com-mon architectural patterns used in iOS development, namely Model-View-Controller (MVC), Model-View-Presenter (MVP), Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) and View-Interactor-Presenter-Entity-Router (VIPER). The benefits and drawbacks of each pattern in terms of testability, distribution, and ease of development are also addressed. Also, consid-erable attention has been paid to benchmarking their performance including central pro-cessing unit (CPU) usage and random-access memory (RAM) usage. The final product of this thesis is an iOS music application called Musicify, which was fully written in Swift. Notably, there are four versions of Musicify and each of them is imple-mented with a different architectural pattern. Moreover, for learning purposes, the source code of the application is made available for use and modification and can be found at https://github.com/akzuki/Musicify. In conclusion, this thesis shows different approaches to architect an iPhone Operating Sys-tem (iOS) application and their extensive impact on the quality of software development. Furthermore, it encourages developers to try and experience different architectural patterns for a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses in order to choose the right one for an application.
