- 1. Talent Smart 2nd Floor, 8-2-293/82/A/471/1/3, Plot No, 471, Rd Number 36, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana 500033 The mobile application development process December 26-12-2022 What is mobile app development? Mobile app development is the process of creating software applications for cell phones and other portable devices. These software programs may come pre-installed on hardware or may need to be downloaded and installed by users. Creating software for mobile apps, integrating backend services like data access APIs, and testing the application on target devices are all part of the mobile application development services provided by app development companies. Mobile App Development Platforms The two main mobile app development platforms are IOS from Apple and Android from Google. In contrast to Google Android, which is made available for mobile devices and businesses that meet the requirements for Android software applications, Apple uses its iOS application specifically for its own devices. Mobile app development process.
- 2. 2 Any method or procedure starts with an idea and turns it into a good or service that addresses the issues of the intended market. It is similar to the mobile app development process. 1. Recognize the need of the customers 2. Creating the device 3. Testing the device 1. Recognize the needs of the customers: A fundamental and essential step in the creation of applications is the identification of customer needs and pain points. Does this involve asking questions like, "What is the objective of our product?" How will the app solve the problems of customers? What is the business strategy? What is the cost of developing an app? What is the estimated revenue? Etc. All these came up after brainstorming the idea that clicked in my brain. Following the brainstorming of the idea and identification of the customer's need, the following steps are taken: A) Competitor research B) Target audiences C) Users research A) Competitor Research: During these steps, you try to find out the total competitors in the market for the product you’re developing. The revenue cost of the application, time taken to build the technology& frameworks they use in developing the application, & their market position, etc. B) Target audiences: Who are the target audiences? How do they find our application? C) User’s research: What unique features does your software offer that other programmers don't? Which business model do your customers use? The market price of the product
- 3. 3 2. Creating the device: It involves planning, designing, and developing the product. A minimum viable product (MVP) is a version of your software that has enough features to be shown to your early users in order to get their feedback on the features of the product and its development potential. It aids in 1. Knowing the features that work for the customers 2. Helps in minimizing the time, expenditure & effort on the products 3. Act as a backup for the original product. A) UX/UI Design: The UX process involves calculating the amount of satisfaction that customers get while using mobile apps. Aspects like app design, branding, and functional usability, as well as marketing and post-sale support, all contribute to the emotional core process that customers go through while using the app. User interface (UI) design's primary objective is to develop user-friendly frameworks and prototypes that follow the most recent fashions in design. 1: Creating a user flow pathway 2) Developing wireframes, template designs, and other elements necessary for designing the user interface for mobile apps 3) On the basis of user feedback, finalize the mockup. B) Development Phase: The development phase involves adding the software applications for the developed wireframe works with the help of codes, and APIs. It mainly consists of 3 phases include 1. Frontend Development 2. Developing APIs (Application Programming Interference)
- 4. 4 3. Backend Development 1. Frontend Development Phase: Frontend development mainly involves providing user experience while using mobile apps. UI/UX process mainly focused on frontend development targeting the end users while using the mobile apps The primary focus of front-end developers is to make things look easier and to focus on what actions get notified when the end users touch any icons while using the mobile apps. These actions include alarm notifications, Gmail notifications, etc. The collected data is sent to servers in the form of inputs to process the future actions that the backend developers perform. Frontend development can be either native or hybrid, with the former running on a stack that is platform-independent and uses HTML5 and JS codes, and the latter on a platform that uses native technology. 2. Backend Development Phase: Backend development takes place on the server side, behind the screen, and during mobile application development. It involves all the critical roles performed in mobile application development. Backend functions primarily involve data verification, data authentication, data storage, data backup and restoration, security, the privacy of the devices, and server-side scripting. The performance of any mobile application primarily depends on well-built backend development. 3. API: API stands for (Application Programming Index) It is a software application that acts as an intermediator between two business company applications to access their services and products and help ease the flow of communication.
- 5. 5 Through a defined interface, APIs enable data communication and exchange between two application software programs. - API helps business companies to make new connections easier with 3rd parties that help in providing new markets and help in opening new markets to the companies - API act as a building layer between the data and server and helps in protecting the data of the user 3) Testing Phase: The testing phase is intended to make sure that the application is bug-free and meets user requirements. The process is also designed to make sure that the application can handle any potential problems in the future. Depending on the stage of development of the app, many different types of tests are performed. The tests can be categorized as unit, integration, system, performance, or acceptance tests. Platform testing: is carried out to ensure that the website or application is responsive on various platforms. Additionally, it makes sure that the website or app operates properly across all platforms and devices. Functional Testing: This type of test checks if there are any bugs in the app or website that might stop it from functioning as expected. Additionally, it checks to see if each function is performing according to plan. Functional testing examines either a single unit or a network of connected modules to validate the software in use. Performance testing: It checks how fast the application responds to user requests on different devices. With the help of performance testing, one can check the mobile app's consistency. Things like 1) volume testing, 2) stability testing, and 3) responsive
- 6. 6 time testing 4) Memory and battery testing, etc., can be known through these processes. Documentation testing: The testing of documented artifacts produced before or after software testing is referred to as "documentation testing." Documentation testing results in estimates for things like requirement tracking, testing efforts, and so on. 1) Documentation testing involves checking the creation and analysis of navigation flow. 2) Analyzing the test cases and plans Security Testing: Everyone is concerned about data and security. Security testing ascertains whether mobile applications are susceptible to security lapses, data leaks, or sensitive data that hackers can access. Some of the security testing analysis includes 1) Threat analysis of authentication of login credentials 2) Checking the possibilities/risks of software applications hacked by hackers 3. Granting permissions to the specified applicants Usability testing: This type of testing is done to check the capabilities of mobile apps and ensure that the mobile applications offer a good user experience in the end. Does usability testing help in determining where UI and UX designs need improvement as well as any potential future changes that might be required? The mobile device can be tested using performance testing A review of the mobile applications and user feedback comes at the end of every development process for mobile applications. B) The Review Stage: The review process is the most important part of the testing process. You compile all of your testing data here and provide feedback on your conclusions.
- 7. 7 Reviews are created to provide feedback on a product or service. They are one of the most important parts of any product development process. The review process consists of three steps: 1) Create a summarized report about the testing 2) Review it and then 3) Deliver your feedback to those who will be able to make changes based on your findings Visit us: https://www.talentsmart.co.in/application-development-services/
