A mobile system development lifecycle consists of a number of clearly defined and distinct workflows, which are used by our application developers to plan the design, build, test, and delivery of the final product to the client.
Step 1. Business Planning and Analysis
The best projects start with a detailed preparation.
Our fundamental approach ensures that the product will meet the needs and frustration of customers. Careful planning helps you understand where you want to go. A meticulous market research helps you understand your idea.
Step 2. Technical specifications
In this step, you need to decide what type of operations and systems you want to create a mobile application for.
Step 3. Prototyping and design
A prototype is a rudimentary working model of a product that helps the customer test the viability of the idea or startup and save a decent amount of time and budget.
Step 4. Development
The application development process is divided into two parts: front-end and backend.
It takes about 10 weeks to create a back-end part of a standard native application (Android or iOS). The front-end development of the application with basic functionality may take about 8 weeks. However, it is not always necessary to create the back-end part of the application if you are using cloud technologies for storage.
Step 5. Testing / Quality Assurance
It is important to test every part of the product at every stage of development.
As a general rule, it should be a separate department dedicated to quality assurance.
The testing/quality assurance process includes testing of these elements: requirements, compatibility, interface, security, low-level application resources.
Step 6. Editing and maintenance
Finally, your application is ready and it’s time to say “Hello everyone!
You can submit the application to your company.
In addition, work on an application does not finish even after it is released. Every application needs updates and customer support.
Note that post-editing maintenance is not included in the initial cost estimates.
