ABSTRACT
Our technology is getting more advanced day by day and mobile is the one of the most important part of this
technology. Where we’re talking about mobile, nowadays android take up the largest part of the market which
means android operating system based mobiles are the most used these days. Our finding shows that students
and jobseekers have difficulties in finding internship and employment or there are not inform that enterprises
are recruiting for internship or employment. Hence we are interested to develop a mobile application that
enable student, jobseekers in finding internship or employment depending on their skill or the skill there wish
to acquire and knowing which competitive entrance exam is available in institutions depending the
geographical location and also providing the possibility for companies and institutions in informing the mobile
application users of their various offers.

CHAPTER ONE: GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

We live in a world which is shaped by key events, discoveries, and technologies that have
led us to a pivotal point in history in which information and resources flows constantly and mobile
application is a vital part our everyday life. Mobile application has long evolved and is not only
used for personal purpose anymore. Mobile applications branched out and now gives user the
opportunity to represent themselves online in the professional world.
Professional mobile application are an important resource for students, jobseekers and
enterprises which provide an opportunity for
o Students and jobseekers to find employment or internship.

o Enterprises to ease publish the recruitment to jobseekers and student for employment and
internship.
o Students and Jobseekers to be informed of the opportunity of competitive entrance exams.
Having access to such mobile application makes it easier for users to connect to others and
expand their own network. Most of the student and jobseeker using IT technology are young adult
aged about 18 or more. These young adults, who are about to enter a competitive employment and
internship market, can benefit from professional mobile applications tremendously in order to
launch a career upon graduating.
Since mobile application can be a powerful source for young adult in terms of providing
valuable career and opportunities, using the resource available online on mobile applications can
create a competitive edge in the professional word. Teaching the student how to utilize the mobile
application can help connect the right person with the right position. Being able to find reasons
why the service is neglected and what can be done to change that can draw more young adults to
the mobile application, giving them access to the mobile application that offers a broad and wide
range services to its users.

This study gives insight into establishing of a platform for connecting enterprises,
students and jobseekers
1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

As we can notice, today we are in a world technology and everybody nowadays is now on
a mobile application. The mobile revolution is powered by technology like the internet, computer
processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, nanotechnology, robotics and information
processors are all tools that we can use to perform tasks in various ways. But the main technology
use and which take a control in the world is the internet.
Some companies, students, jobseekers and institutions nowadays face some problems
because they are not using the adequate mobile application;
A. Lack of visibility
Most new-coming enterprises don’t have enough of postulants because they are not
seen on the web. Nowadays the majority of people are now found on mobile
applications and they know that with internet everything is possible to find
something. People are now concentrated on the web than to go outside and start
moving up and down to find good services from enterprises. So than to move up
and down they prefer to stay on their devices scrolling up and down seeing
enterprises proposing their services. When an enterprise is not seen on the web it
may affect its performance.
B. Difficulties in finding
i. Internship
Finding an internship in Cameroon can be quite tedious task. In fact, many
student complains about having difficulties to find remunerated or non-
remunerated internship opportunities or professional experience in the
country. You are therefore advised to start your internship search in some
mobile applications offering those services.
ii. Employment

The Cameroon labour market is today saturated with qualified youth who
are churned out annually from the universities and professional training
institutions in the country. With youth constituting the bulk of the country’s
population securing a job in Cameroon is as hard as passing a camel through
on a needle’s hole.
C. Lack of reliable information on competitive exams.
To crack any competitive exam, you first need to understand the pre-requisites for the examination.
Before appearing for the examination, you should completely review syllabus of the exam, various
subjects, and weightage given to each subject, so that you can plan your study accordingly. A look
at the previous papers of the exam may also help you get an idea about the exam pattern. Therefore
the use of an application that can put to your disposal those information is necessary.

1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1.2.1 General objectives
 The objective of this report is to make an app which provide connectivity between
student, jobseeker and enterprises.
1.2.2 Specific objectives

1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
 Do you think that establishing a platform ease the connectivity of enterprises,
students, and jobseeker?
 Do you think that a good mobile application increase the reliability of an

information and visibility of an enterprise or competitive exam?
1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

1.4.1 Scope
It is just normal that a work cannot been just brainstormed since to obtain the data while
carrying out research, internal and external sources of information were used. So for the
achievement of our stated objectives, questionnaires, usage of the library, and usage of some digital
past documents for the internal source. For external source, the internet and other reports can be
used.
The scope of my study in mobile development is to talk about the benefit of the mobile applications
to have better connectivity between the student, jobseekers, companies and institutions.
1.4.2 Limitations
It is but normal to face some difficulties while carrying out an activity or a research. We saw
a difference in what we did theoretically in class to what we practiced there. Again a slight
difficulty to assimilate the climate of an enterprise, know how the business world functions.
Further, a language barrier since the tasks are performed in French while our theoretical concepts
where in English.
1.5 OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS OF TERMS

This part deals with the definition of terms related to our study.

a student’s field of study or career interest.

CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Advances in mobile technology have enable a wide range of applications to
be developed that can be used by people on the move. Developers sometimes
overlook the fact that users will want to interact while on the move. Small screen
sizes, limited connectivity, high power consumption rates and limited input
modalities are just some of the issues that arise when designing for small, portable
devices. . Given the noticeable progress of mobile technologies, the question is how
mobile development is being employed by practitioners and into what extent this
progress is being followed by scholars and academics.
2.1 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Substantial researches have been conducted to provide improved solutions for the
job searching criteria. One of the studies suggested a solution by using fuzzy
preference rules in making decisions in accordance with the users’ choice. To
provide the user friendly and robust application, this system used ANDROID 2.2,
Google API, and JADE-LEAP. Another study has developed the job clusters, which
showed the relationship between the company needs and the professionals. As a
result, the visualization of the network was created between the companies and
professions. Another research provided a multi-agent system, which has focused on
the time consuming task of job searching. This system proposed job match-making
in teleworking community. Furthermore, a semantic web-based research was
conducted to provide a solution for data exchange between applicants, job portals,
and job employers. Dictionary was created by this study to build the ontology related

with industrial sectors, occupations, and job skills. Two-sided model approach has
been identified, in which workers’ cost of application has been explained, which was
helpful in growing the job search on internet. Moreover, the study evaluated that
search models of basic worker side, which are used to lower search costs. This study
characterized workers as the privately known agents of the firm specific productivity.
The findings indicated that lowered search costs help in improvising job search.
Another approach evaluated that a job application can be received at the computer
server system in the form of SMS (Short Messaging Service). This application is sent
by the job seeker device, which is operating independently on the computer system.
It has been observed by the aforementioned studies that job hunting models require
several time models to search the unemployed worker’s behavior. Moreover, it
requires user friendly interface with less complexities. The traditional mediums are
mainly used by the job marketing, newspaper advertising, and recruitment agencies.
Whenever a company needs to recruit employees within a shorter period, they
usually use local newspapers or international newspapers for publishing their ads.
Recruitment agencies, on the other hand, compared the skills of the candidates with
the required skill set of the company. In the current era, the fastest medium to apply
for the job is internet. Therefore, there have been multiple websites that exists to seek
job opportunities. These websites promote careers and employment vacancies to the
users so that they can post their resumes online. Some of the websites that are
commonly used for job seeking purpose in Saudi Arabia, including Bayt.com,
Khbrah.com, and Wadhefa.com. There are also some mobile applications that are
made to list job vacancies. These applications include Career jet, Bayt, and
MonsterApp. Jobs vacancies are also present across the social media, which include
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. These web and mobile applications carry

considerable fame and has been proven quite successful in the job hunting
procedures.
2.2 - EMPIRICAL STUDY

I have noticed that Nordic European countries are investing on the
integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) and mobile
development processes in new or existing business models. While, at the same time,
these countries are studying its implications to the business landscape, several cases
are illustrating the current Nordic investment on mobile development, e.g.,
manufacturing companies are pursuing servitization strategies, which are
increasingly relying on developing mobile applications capabilities to interact and
co-create value to their customers. Drawing on the results of this research, we found
that the development of mobile technologies exists along with advancements in
artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, which are enabling a new wave of service
delivery systems and manufacturing innovations. On the other hand, mobile
development and servitization of manufacturing processes are moving companies to
find competitive advantages through innovative mobile business models. Moreover,
the literature best identifies supplementary technologies that are identified as
facilitator and do have a broader effect on mobile development, examples are: the
use of mobile devices that are changing consumer practices and organizational
behaviors.

Figure 1: Document by countries or territories
During the last two decades, new technological developments such as, the Internet,
and smartphones, have profoundly impacted every part of economic, political and
social life. The integration of mobile devices reorganized the activities of business
organization; thus by adopting business process mobile development, companies
have started to gain market and operational efficiency.

Figure 2: Document by subject area
According to Figure 3, we could observe that the engineering area has had a great
preponderance on the mobile developing landscape (10%), as it is influencing, for
example:
(1) The improvement of manufacturing processes industrial engineers;
(2) The building of applications – systems engineers;
(3) The developments of intelligent machines and artificial intelligence technologies

– electrical, mechanical and robotics engineers.
We have also explored the journal distribution, which refers to the largest number
of publications in the mobile development scope (Figure 4). We also cross-checked
the journal distribution with Scimago2 Journal Ranking (SJR indicator), which
measures the journal’s impact, influence and prestige that is measured from Q1 (best
indexed journals) until Q4 (lowest indexed journals).

Figure 3: Documents distribution by journal
The journals with highest percentage of publication were: The German
journal of ZWF Zeitschriftfuer Wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb, which is mainly
addressed to companies’ executives and specialists’ in production and service
engineering domains; the Swiss journal of Sustainability and the Romanian Journal
Quality Access to Success, which are cross-disciplinary, scholarly and open access
journals. Although the ones with better quotation were the British Journals Transfer,
Research Technology Management, and the Journal of Retailing and Consumer
Services.
As mentioned above, the highest scientific journal emphasized practice-

based research, which is a clear indication that research is largely driven by
practitioners; followed by academics, particularly with respect to publications in
major journals i.e. between quartiles 1 and 2. The bars in Figure 4 illustrate the
dispersion of each research approach. Although the Figure 5 does not present all the
research methodologies and methods, we have considered the generic ones with more
incidences, giving just a few examples: mixed methodologies included multi-method

research or mixed method research; and empirical research included case studies or
focus group.
Figure 5 shows that there is a higher incidence of empirical studies when compared
to the conceptual ones, which shows that there is still room to study the phenomenon
from a conceptual point of view, so future research should focus more on defining
the theoretical foundations of the field.
We could also verify that most part of the empirical research were
qualitative case studies, which according to Yin have no generalization perspectives,
only theoretical, and therefore it would be useful to invest on quantitative research
methods to allow generalization. There is also a great lack of mixed studies and
therefore it would be more valuable to draw more attention in that regard. Mixed
studies allow researchers or a team of researchers to combine elements of qualitative
and quantitative research approaches for a broader purpose of breadth and depth of
understanding and corroboration. Moreover, there is a level of agreement that mixed
studies are superior in comparison with single methods, as are less prone to errors or
biased conclusions.

Figure 4: Major research approaches
Although the quality of publications increased, i.e. in the first two months of 2019,
approximately 70% of publications were Q1, the number of publications also
increased progressively over the years (Figure 6). The document distribution
increased mainly due the transition of mobile technologies from computer science to
the service and manufacturing industry, thus the mobile transformation is re-shaping
the industrial processes: e.g. industry 4.0, industrial artificial intelligence or internet
of things.

Figure 5: Documents distribution by year
The mobile era is not only driving innovation into the industry sector, as it seems to
being influencing developments in the public sector as well. Moreover, Reis et al.
argue the government mobile development is one of the promising themes, with more

period). Mobile development: A Literature Review and Research Agenda 451
prospects for future development. A perspective that has already been verified in the
first two months of 2019, with a slight increase of studies related to public education
and public health services when compared with the same period in 2018. In the next
section we present the conclusions, where is included the contributions to theory and
practice, as well as the guidelines for future research .

CHAPTER TREE: METHODOLOGY AND
INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES
3.0 - INTRODUCTION
Methodology is the study of research methods or a body of methods, rules, and postulates
employed by a discipline or more formally contextual framework for research, a coherent and
logical scheme based on views, beliefs, and values that guides the choices researchers or other
users.
Kallet , richard H in respiratory care 49 (October 2004) said methodology section describe
actions to be taken to investigate a research problem and the rational for the application of specific
procedures and techniques used to identify, select, process and analyze information applied to
understanding the problem thereby allowing the reader to critically evaluate a study’s overall
validity and reliability .
3.1 - METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION

When it comes to data collection there are quite a few useful methods. Before going into the data
collection methods, there’s something you need to know.
Data collection is defined as the procedure of collecting, measuring and analyzing accurate insights
for research using standard validated techniques. Data Collection essentially falls under two main
categories: Primary data collection and Secondary data Collection. Base on this topic I decide to
use both primary and secondary method of data collection to obtain data and information.
3.1.1 - Primary Data Collection Methods

Primary data collection is the act of gathering raw data collected for a specific research.
3.1.1.1- Qualitative Research Method
The qualitative research method basically depends on the non-calculable

elements like the emotions, opinions and feelings. This method does not involve any numbers or
calculations whatsoever. A fine example of a qualitative data collection method would be open-
ended feedback like a survey form you send out to customers.

3.1.1.2- Quantitative Method
As opposed to qualitative methods of data collection, quantitative method depends
on numbers and mathematical calculations to help you arrive at a conclusion. Any close-ended
question that demands calculated answers, like the ones involving mean, median, mode etc. A
classic example of this type of data collection is polls. You're mainly interested in the numbers they
produce to reach your conclusions/decisions.
3.1.2 - Secondary Data Collection Methods

In simple words, Secondary data collection takes place when you collect data from a secondary
source rather than from the original one. This kind of data can be sourced from online portals,
books and journals that have been already published. It is often the easier and cheaper method when
compared to primary data collection. Secondary data collection is often readily available. After the
expense of electronic media and internet the availability of secondary data collection has become
much easier.
3.2- TECHNIQUES/TOOLS FOR DATA COLLECTION

Any research is only as good as the data that drives it, so choosing the right technique of
data collection can make all the difference.
Data collection techniques we use include; observation, questionnaire, interview.
 Observation
Curing my internship at Mveng Engineering, I could retrieve data from the job market of the
mobile development by observing it. Making direct observations of simplistic phenomena can be
a very quick and effective way of collecting data with minimal intrusion. Establishing the right
mechanism for making the observation is all you need. Gathering firsthand information in the field
gives the observer a holistic perspective that helps them to understand the context in which the item
being studied operates or exists.
Observation is an effective technique because it is straightforward and efficient: It doesn’t typically

require extensive training on the part of the data collector, and he or she is generally not dependent
on other participants.
 Questionnaires

During my internship, a form of question was given to the personnel of MVENG ENGINEERING
so as to answer and I could get my information that I needed to proceed with my work.
Questionnaires are a popular means of data collection because they are inexpensive and can provide
a broad perspective. They can be conducted face-to-face, by mail, telephone, or Internet (in which
case, they can include respondents from anywhere in the world).
Questionnaires are often used when information is sought from a large number of people or on a
wide range of topics (where in-depth responses are not necessary). They can contain yes/no,
true/false, multiple choice, scaled, or open-ended questions or all of the above. The same survey
can be conducted at spaced intervals to measure change over time.
 Interviews
This is usually a purposeful discussion between two or more people, which help to gather valid and
reliable data that are relevant to the research questions and objectives. The interview method of
data collection involves presentation of oral verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral-verbal
responses. This method can be used through personal interviews and if possible, through telephone
interview (Kothari, 2004:97). During the interview the researcher used a list of themes and
questions to be covered. The order of questions may be varied however, depending on the flows of
the conversation. The interview is selected because more information can be obtained; there is
greater flexibility under this method as the opportunity to restructure questions is always there,
especially in case of unstructured interviews.
In this study the researcher expected to conduct an interview with employees and other people. In
each group, relevant details and relevant information about the importance of mobile development
to a company, an institution, a student and a jobseekers.
Telephone interviews are less expensive than in-person interviews, and provide access to anyone
in the world with a phone. They also provide a measure of anonymity that may encourage the
respondent to be more forthcoming with their answers. But they lack the rich data of face-to-face
interaction.
3.3 - POPULATION
According to Borg and Gall (1983:238) the term population refers to all the people who
could be included in a study. In this study, the target population was all people dealing online

especially people using website for satisfaction. It is therefore prudent for the researcher to draw a
sample which is a representative of this population.
During the internship realize that we can find more people online than physically .meaning that my
target populations are people found online and my accessible population is the personnel of the
MVENG ENGINEERING.
The population selected was designed to obtain adequate and diverse views regarding the level and
the importance of mobile application. It consists of clients of the firm MVENG ENGINEERING.
The rational for choosing this population rests in the assumption that the said population has the
appropriate required knowledge for the study.
3.4- SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES

3.4.1-Sampling
Ary, Jacobs and Asghar (1996:174) say that, sampling is indispensable to the researcher, as
time, money and sometimes distance do not permit the researcher to study all possible members of
the population. Sampling enables the researcher to study a portion of the population, rather than
the entire population. The sampling size to be use in this research work constitute of a number of
people in the 21 century. This is because people in the 21 century have knowledge of using the
internet. Here we are going to take number of 50 persons that are online
3.4.2-Sampling Techniques
Sampling may be defined as the selection of some part of an aggregate or totality on the basis
of which judgment or inference about the aggregate or totality is made. It is the process of obtaining
information about an entire population by examining only a party of it (Kothari, 2004:152).
For the sake of this work, both primary and secondary data were used. The primary data
are collected by the researcher through the use of questionnaires while the secondary data are
collected from website. The purposeful sampling techniques were employed for the selection of
the sample persons. The following parameters were also considered in the sampling process, the
age, the gender, the experience. The variable of age ranged from 20-50 years and the specific age
of each respondent will be required on the questionnaire. Therefore, this study employed simple
random sampling and stratified sampling.

a. Simple Random Sampling
Haralambos, (1993), explains that simple random sampling refers to the procedure in which each
person in the population has the same known probability of being selected.
This is often achieved by assigning numbers to each sample unit and selecting members of the
sample by using a random table. Each member of the population under study has equal chance of
being selected.
b. Stratified Sampling
Moser, (1988) stipulates that stratified sampling uses knowledge of the population to increase the
representation and precision of the sample. This is the process of dividing population into
homogeneous groups. Each group contained subjects with similar characters. For example, group
A might contain males and females and group B males and females.
c. Sample Size
Dixon et al, (1991), Define sample as a small part of the larger population. Given the nature
of the study and time available to carry out the study, a sample of 13 respondents was picked with
the aid of the table of random numbers. The data consisted units like respondents’ characteristics
which included personal characteristics, individual experience on capitation grants in secondary
schools.
Table 1: Sample size Distribution of Respondents
Real number of
Types of respondents Total respondents
Employees of the enterprise 10 5
Customers 40 25
Total 50 30

3.5- METHOD OF DATA ANALYSIS
Data analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and /or logical
techniques to describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data (Shamoo and Resnik
(2003)) OR data analysis defines the term analysis as the computation of certain measures along
with searching for pattern of relationship or differences that exist among data groups (Kothari,
(1990))
The information which was collected from the data collection technique (interviews, observation
and questionnaires) as well as data collection instrument (questionnaires) was qualitatively
presented. Research questions were used as an appropriate guide to provide frame work for the
presentation
The method here was use to analyze the result gotten from the administration of
questions, observation and interviews which was done by the researcher. We first start by preparing
a questionnaires which was based on our research questions. And this questionnaire was sub
divided into three section (A and B)
Section A; which is made up of description of persons.
Section B; which is made up of importance of digitalization.
3.6- INTERNSHIP
3.6.1 - Introduction
An internship is a professional learning experience that offers meaningful, practical work
related to a student’s field of study or career interest. An internship gives a student the opportunity
for career exploration and development, and to learn new skills. It offers the employer the
opportunity to bring new ideas and energy into the workplace, develop talent and potentially build
a pipeline for future full-time employees.
An internship:
 Provides a clear job/project description for the work experience.
 Orients the student to the organization, its culture and proposed work assignment(s).
 Helps the student develop and achieve learning goals.

 Offers regular feedback to the student intern.
Student Interns Expect:
 To gain real work experience and provide meaningful assistance to the company. They
don’t want to be gophers!
 To have a mentor who provides guidance, feedback, receptiveness and models

professionalism.
 To gain experience and skills in a particular field.
 To develop professional contacts.
 To gain exposure to upper management.
 To receive an orientation to the company for which they are interning. This introduces the
student to the company’s mission and goals and provides them with information about
company rules, regulations and procedures. It also introduces the intern to fellow employees
who they can go to in the future with questions
3.6.2- Internship activities

Our internship took place according to a very specific organization:
 The first month of the internship was devoted to discussions around the project in order to
properly situate the theme in its environment and to highlight its advantages and limitations;
 Every morning with our supervisor, a 30-minute update was made on the progress of the
work so that we could explain our various problems and misunderstandings to him;
 The first month of internship was also for us a period of learning the plat forms that were
going to be used for the development of our project. It was a question for us to learn the
basics of the platforms and try to see what tools would be necessary for the project;
 The second month, and more particularly the first 2 weeks of our internship period, were
dedicated to the analysis of the project and the drafting of the design. When we arrived in
the company, the specifications had already been established which facilitated the analysis
of the project;

 Finally, we have moved on to the actual development phase. Each trainee had 03 or 04
modules to develop, modules that we had brought out through the analysis of the project.
Some tools use for the development of our mobile application;
 Flutter
 Visual Studio Code
 Android Studio Code
Let us take an overview on those tools.
a) Flutter
Flutter is an open-source mobile SDK developer can use to build native-looking

Android and IOS applications from the same code base. Flutter has been around
since 2015 when Google introduced it and remained in the beta stage before its
official launch in December 2018. Since then, the buzz around Flutter has been growing stronger.
Flutter is now the top 11 software repos based on Git Hub stars. Moreover, we’ve already seen
thousands of Flutter apps being published on app stores. One of the most notable examples is the
XIANYU app created by ALIBABA team, used by over 50 million people
 How it’s works

 Widgets: The central idea behind Flutter is the use of widgets. It’s by combining
different widgets that developers can build the entire UI. Each of these widgets
defines a structural element (like a button or menu), a stylistic element (a font or
color scheme), a layout aspect (like padding), and many others.
 Note that Flutter doesn’t use OEM widgets, but provider’s developers with
its own ready-made widgets that look native to Android or IOS apps
(following Material Design or Cupertino). Naturally, developers can create
their own widgets as well.

 Dart programming language: One of the most interesting features of
Flutter is the language it uses: Dart. Like other systems that use reactive views,
Flutter refreshes the view tree for every new frame. To accomplish that, it creates
many objects that may live for no more than one frame. Dart uses generational
garbage collection that has proven to be very efficient for this type of systems.
 Benefit of flutter
 It serves you time and money
Flutter is a cross-platform development tool. That means software developers can
use the same code base for building an IOS and Android app. Cross-platform
development is the best method for saving time and resources throughout the
development process.
 Open-source
Flutter is an open-source technology surrounded by an active community of
developers who provide support, contribute to the tool’s extensive documentation,
and develop helpful resources. Both Dart and Flutter are free to use.
 Compatibility
Another advantage of Flutter is the fact that it comes with its own widgets that
result in fewer compatibility issues. Developers will see fewer problems on
different OS versions and can spend less time on testing the app on older OS
versions. Also, you can be confident that your app will work on future OS versions.
b) Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux
and Mac OS. It is a super-fast and lightweight Source Code Editor which can be used to
view, edit, run and debug source code for applications. It is mainly used by front-end
developers.

Visual Studio Code is a completely different product when compared to Visual Studio.
It is cross platform – works on windows, Linux and mac while Visual Studio only works
on windows operating system and Mac operating system.
Advantages:
 IntelliSense for programming language: IntelliSense is a general term used for
variety of code editing features: code completion, parameter info, quick info, “code
completion”, “content assist”, and “code hinting.” VS Code IntelliSense is provided
for JavaScript, Typescript, JSON, HTML, CSS, Less, and Sass out of the box. We
can also add IntelliSense extension for other languages as well which are not
supported by default.
Figure 6: intellisense reaction
 Integrated Version Control (Built-in Git): Visual Studio Code has Git integration
built-in, which makes it really easy to instantly see the changes you’re making in
your project. On the left of the sidebar, we can find the Git icon where we can
initialize Git as well as perform several Git commands such as commit, pull, push,
rebase, publish, and look into the changes within the file.

Figure 7: Git interface
 Debugging
One of the key features of Visual Studio Code is its great debugging support. VS
Code’s built-in debugger helps accelerate your edit, compile and debug loop.
By default, it comes with support for Node.JS and can debug anything that is
transpired to JavaScript but other runtimes like C++ or Python will require an
extension to be installed.
We can set breakpoints, look into call stack or variables at run time, and pause or
step through code execution.

Figure 8: debugging console.
Steps for the development of the mobile application.
Figure 9: Step for mobile development

The design of the mobile app was all done following a mobile app development process that’s been
tested and refined over years. These mobile development spans on six (6) phases: strategy, analysis
& planning, design, app development, testing and deployment.
 Phase 1: Strategy.
Before you do anything you have to
Define the app’s purpose
Identify the app’s audience
Establish the app’s goals and objectives.
 Phase 2: Analysis and Planning

Here we begin by defining use cases and capturing detailed functional requirements. The planning
phase of the app included identifying the skill needed for our app development i.e. if the goal is to
build an app for both IOS and android mobile platforms, then your mobile development team
should include IOS developers and Android developers. As the scope of our mobile app is not
complex and doesn’t require platform specification control, then we consider creating our app using
a cross-platform stack; FLUTTER.
Here are some use cases;
Figure 10: Student use case Figure 11: Jobseeker use case

Figure 12: Enterprise use case
 Phase 3: UI / UX design.
The purpose of an app’s design is to deliver seamless and effortless user experiences with a
polished look. The goal for mobile app UI and UX design was to create excellent user
experiences, making our app interactive, intuitive and user-friendly to keep users engaged.
 Phase 4 : App development

Before the actual development/programming effort start, we
Define the technical architecture,
Pick the technology stack, and
Define the development milestone
During this development phase we use version control solution called GitHub to manage
and share source code with other app developers on the team. Once each development
milestone is over, the mobile app is passed to the app testing team for validation. Include
crash tracking and this will benefit in troubleshooting technical errors generated while
using the app.
 Phase 5 : Application Testing

Figure 13: Various Testing Process undertaken
 User experience Testing

Visual, workflow and interactivity are what will give end users a first-hand impression of
the app. We are to make sure that our app employs consistent fonts, style treatments, color
scheme and padding between data, icon design and navigation. Ensuring that the app
matches the design guidelines to have a direct impact on its user adoption.
 Functional Testing
The objectives were to find
- If the app is responding to the user request,
- If the app screen loading were fast,
- If the app is draining the phone battery or causing memory leaks,
- If the size of the app is larger than it should be.
 Security Testing
Looking for any potential vulnerability that can lead to a hack.
 Device and platform Testing
This is where testing during mobile app development process differs significantly from
web app testing. You can get away by testing your web app just on Chrome browser in a
windows environment or using a service like Browser Stack to test across multiple
browsers and different resolutions. But the app was tested on multiple mobile simulator to
ensure smooth working of the app for all user.
 Phase 6: Deployment and support.

After all the various testing done the app is realise to the public.

CHAPTER FIVE: SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION
5.0- INTRODUCTION.
This chapter summarize the findings of the study that relates to the objectives of the study.
The chapter also draws conclusion and recommendation made from the findings of the study.
5.1- SUMMARY
Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications that

run on a mobile device, and a typical mobile application utilizes a network
connection to work with remote computing resources.
The reasons why your business needs a mobile application are;
 Simplify Communication; mobile applications act as a great tool for
spreading awareness of product launches, promotional activities, and

company activities, moreover It is a helpful tool for anytime communication
between employees, stakeholders, and management.
 Audience Building; you can establish relationships with your customers no
matter where they are in the world. A person does not need to remember your
web address or refer to a search engine, as in the case of a site, since the app
is already installed on their device.
 A source of valuable analytics; by utilizing a mobile app, you can collect a
lot of useful information for further analysis. For instance, you can learn which
products your customers buy the most. As well as, how much time they spend
on the app.
 Marketing; Mobile apps can be successfully used to attract attention to the
brand through various marketing campaigns. In such a way, you expand the
potential audience of customers and develop trusting relationships with them.

 Offers a Competitive Edge; It is easy for your business to stay ahead of the
competition with a flawlessly performing and visually appealing mobile
application. Also, you can come up with updated versions of the app over a
period of time to meet the user’s diverse requirements and cater to business
changing needs.
5.2- FINDINGS
In the recent years, the advances in mobile technology have brought an

exorbitant change in daily lifestyle of individual. Smartphone/mobile devices are
rampant in all aspects of human life. This has led to an extreme demand for
developing software that run on mobile devices.
Our finding shows that students and jobseekers have difficulties in finding
internship and employment or there are not inform that enterprises are recruiting
for internship or employment.
 Challenges
According to TECHGIG, the challenges associated with mobile development are

clear for most developers.
o Understanding the target audience
Not all mobile app developer can understand the target audiences easily. With
the aggressive competition, it is becoming a race to understand the audience
and look their attention long enough. Hence mobile app developers need to
understand the user persona and research to get the desired results.
o Meeting user requirements.
Mobile app development must focus on ensuring that the application can meet
the requirement of the user. The mobile app developer must understand the

goal of apps, features, ideas, and how they will solve the issues that users might
be facing. This is one of the greatest challenges in the market to develop the
app as per user needs.
o Security.
With the cyber-attack at its peak, it is vital to focus on the security protocols
of mobile app development. Mobile app developers need to find all the
loopholes and ensures that the application is safe and secure from any malware
or viruses.
o Choosing the development platform.
From programming languages to frameworks, every single aspect must be

considered properly while developing a mobile app. It is challenging to build
a flexible app and to do so, it is difficult to choose the most innovative
technology that can help to obtain the desired results.
 Mobile development strategy
The following approach is a straightforward path to adopting mobile

technologies for businesses.
 Step 1: Outline the business overall strategy.

Identify your company’s mission, vision, goals, and targets. It will help you to
understand how your app will meet your customers’ and company’s needs.
 Step 2: Identify your target users.
Developing a business plan for mobile app also requires a thorough analysis of
your target customers. This analysis should be based on their age, gender,
preferences, needs, and pains. For instance, if you want to launch an app for

learning new languages, your audience will consist primarily of young people
motivated to learn new foreign languages.
 Step 3: Analyze your competitors.
One of the most important elements in the app development business plan is an
effective competitor analysis. Due to the fact that app stores are crowded by
numerous applications of similar types. By analyzing the apps that have the same
purpose as yours, you will know what their strong and weak sides are.
 Step 4: Decide on a type of app you want to create.
Choosing the type of app you need is one of the most significant stages of app
development. Keep in mind that native apps support only one platform while
hybrid apps can work on several platforms but with limitations on the functional
side.
 Step 5: Decide on development methodology.
You can choose between two methodologies: Agile and Waterfall. If you stick to
the Waterfall methodology, you decide on the parameters of app development at
the very beginning and develop the app step by step, but it’ll take longer until
you’ll see the first prototype of the working app. With Agile methodologies, you
can develop several sections of an app simultaneously and introduce changes at
any stage of the development process.
 Step 6: Create an effective marketing strategy.
If you want to make your app visible, think about the platforms that you want to
target, and how you will measure the convergence. For instance, in the case of
app development, your tools will include the number of downloads, sales, app
analytics, etc.

5.2- RECOMMENDATION
I recommend this work to student, jobseekers which are unable to be informed

or find internship or employment and to enterprises which are not visible in the web
in order to make the more efficient to the market place so as to upgrade and innovate
in the world of mobile development.
5.3- CONCLUSION.
Our finding show that establishing a platform ease the connectivity of

enterprises, students, and jobseeker and increase the reliability of an information
and visibility of an enterprise or competitive exam?
