Application Development

What is Application Development?

Application development is the process of creating a computer program or a set of programs to perform the different tasks that a business requires. From calculating monthly expenses to scheduling sales reports, applications help businesses automate processes and increase efficiency. Every app-building process follows the same steps: gathering requirements, designing prototypes, testing, implementation, and integration.Planning

This first stage involves completing a business analysis and creating a mobile strategy. A business analysis, marketer and project manager are usually involved.

  1. Technical

In this next stage, a technical writer is responsible for describing all technical details and requirements.

  1. Prototyping

In the prototyping phase, the sketch, wire frames and app skins are created. This is usually completed by a UX/UI designer.

  1. Developing

This phase includes front-end and back-end coding segments and is performed by developers.

  1. Quality

During the quality assurance phase, tech requirements are tested and the device capability is reviewed to ensure that the app is working as it should.

  1. Publishing

Finally, the app is published to the app store. Maintenance is provided on an ongoing basis as updates, new releases and new bugs arise.
