App Development Process London

Here is a detailed purview into the app development process.

• Planning & Prioritizing:

   
  The moment the idea is validated, the team will begin working on how many tasks need to be accomplished, the timeline for the tasks, and the priority task list. The planning team will list down all the tasks, mark them by urgency and timeline, and finally break them down into subtasks for easy accomplishment. The blueprint for the app design is also readied at this point. This includes sketching the app screens and the movement of the user. The following are the requisites to accomplish detailed planning.

• • The target market for which the application is being designed.
  • The user behavior and their app usage needs.
  • The complete analysis of the user’s app requirements, the problems existing in the target market, and how the app will act as a solution.
  • User personas defined from their app usage and their personality.

• App Design:

   
  At this point, the team will get the screens they have sketched and the user experience design they have identified for the target market, approved by the client. Once approved, the prototypes for the same will be delivered to the client. This prototype will include the navigation aspect so that the client will know whether or not the movement will work for the users. Once the prototypes are approved, the actual designing process begins. The colors, placement of buttons and even the fonts are decided at this point, and everything is executed, from the plan, at this point.

• Defining the Approach:

   
  Once the design is ready, the team has to define the approach for mobile app development. There are basically two types of approaches, distinctively possible- native app development and hybrid app development.

  • • The native app is specifically developed for the platform in concern, and the set of devices that work on that platform. The application will work in tandem with the guidelines specified by the platform. They are reliable and faster, as they are developed for the specific platform. You will get the native-like experience and the push notifications that are specifically defined for the native platform.
    • • Hybrid app development is more like the same application that works on both platforms. They are not really devised for the specific platform, which means they will lack the platform-specific features but, they will be high-performance, and offer the same level of security and reliability.

• Development:

   
  The process of development includes actual coding and developing the design for the operating systems and the devices. The development team will understand the design, get ready with their tools, and begin crafting the actual application.

• Testing and Deployment:

   
  The team will test the application while it is being developed and then after the development process is accomplished. This helps ensure a bug-free and reliable application. Once the application works perfectly, it is optimized and uploaded to the app store.

Finally, the support and maintenance services allow the team to work through the development, upgrade the app to meet the latest operating system updates, and even patch updates when required. This makes the app work in sync with the operating system.
