Abstract
In the emerging field of Internet of Things (IoT), where computerized devices are combined in creative new ways, there is a need to create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for the systems being built, e.g. in the form of Android “apps”. This is generally a complicated, time consuming task. We report from a controlled experiment that evaluates a new approach for building GUIs that aims to make it easier for more people to build quality GUIs. A tool supporting the new approach (GPE) was compared to Android Studio (AS\({}_{}\)), the industry standard for Android development. Our data analysis shows that GPE is more effective than AS\({}_{}\) when performing certain tasks, with no measurable degrade in the quality of the produced GUIs. We conclude that non-Android developers and Android developers alike should consider using GPE rather than AS\({}_{}\) when building Android GUIs for PalCom based IoT systems.
