What are the five steps of mobile app development?

Mobile apps have never been popular till recently. With the rise of technology smartphones and tablets have been in the hands of everyone. With this rise comes the demand for mobile apps and the need for an app developer company. The main reason behind this convenience.

In today’s world, there is literally an app for everything, from delivering groceries to your doorstep to booking a cab to helping you track your weight loss goals. There are even apps to check your child’s safety when they are in school and another app that lets you check if your vehicle is safe in the parking lot while you are in the office.

In today’s blog post, we will be taking a look at the 5 key steps in the world of app development.

So let us get started.

Research

Behind every amazing app, there is a lot of groundwork that goes into it. First, the mobile app development services company needs to find out how the proposed ideas can be merged into one functional mobile app. Apart from incorporating the brand into the design and functionality, the developer must also consider the differences between how a mobile website is used and how a mobile app is used.

Prototype

This part of the mobile app development is a rough, preliminary version of the final app. Until the developer builds the first prototype there is no way to know how the app will be perceived by the customers or how the app will eventually look and work. 

That is why the very first goal of any mobile app developer is to build a prototype. It gives the developer and the team a salient idea about how the app is forming up and what are the things which require change. In some instances, a prototype is also released for the audience to try and give their feedback on.

Development and Coding

This is the stage where the app is actually built and coded. Developers write the code that makes the app function and brings the design to life.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Before the app is released, it must be thoroughly tested to ensure that it functions correctly and has no bugs or errors. This includes both manual and automated testing.

Deployment and Maintenance

Once the app is thoroughly tested and deemed ready for release, it is deployed to the app stores and made available to users. After the app is released, ongoing maintenance and updates are required to keep it functioning properly and address any issues that arise.

 Conclusion

Now your app is ready and can be launched out to the public for seeing and analyzing the results of your hard work. After the launch, there is a never-ending cycle that begins which includes UX/UI marketing and sales testing, optimization, and fixing various kinds of bugs that might occur.

With that, we have come to the end of our discussion and we hope that you found this article helpful.
