Various Phases In A Mobile App Development Process

It’s easy to judge a mobile app by the looks and its features. But have you ever thought about how mobile apps are made? Making a mobile app isn’t a rocket science but making a successful mobile app is no easy trick as it is a process involving quite an extensive pre-planning. If you find yourself with a lot of question and not a lot of answers with regards to your new app idea then this blog is for you. Here you’ll learn about the key phases of a mobile app development process. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the guide. 

Research

As we all know that it all starts with a unique idea. During this, you need to do the research and a little bit of brainstorming. After doing this you need to ask questions of yourself like for, who is the target audience of this app? What platform will you choose? Are you gonna make money from this? Having all the answers to will help you move on to the next phase.

Mental Prototyping

Once you have done the research, the next step is to do the mental prototyping of the app and you need to draw your app idea into sketches or jot it down somewhere.

Also, you can take the feedback of relevant people to get a perspective of what they think about your idea.

Assessment Of Technical Feasibility 

Now that you have clearly defined your app idea, you can think about the app development itself. But the most important question is on which platform you need to build it first? You need to choose the platform wisely as that will decide what kind of audience you are going to get.

Building A Prototype

One can not define the touch experience until he/she could actually touch and feel the app. In order to make that happen, you need to make a prototype of that app so that, you can actually see how things are working. 

Design And Development Of The App

Before moving to the coding part you need to first design your app. For that, you need to consult a UI/UX designer or simply a mobile app development company. A UI/UX designer can create the look and feel of your app and the coder will make the same design as the UI/UX designer will provide him.

Testing

This step is to check whether your app is ready to go out to the market or not. For testing, you need to get some target users to help you to test the App.

UAT Testing: 

For user experience testing you need to put your App in the hands of some users that you are targeting.

Beta Testing: 

Make your App is available for the beta testing by adding it on the marketplace as a beta version. The feedback from the beta users will help you determine if your App’s functions are working well in the real world environment.

Launch

After the successful testing its time to submit the app to the app stores for approval. However, this is not the end. You need to provide time to time updates to the users of your app so that they won’t face any problem and stay satisfied with the app.
