6 Steps Of Your Business App Development

A working application of the highest quality is a result of a process, that takes much time and efforts. The simplest mobile apps take about a month up to deployment. The more complex an app is, the more time it takes. But this period can be reduced. It depends on how well the customer is prepared, when starts his/her cooperation with the software developer. Here are the steps that should be taken by the customer.

1. Purpose and user audience
The customer should define the purpose of the application and its target user audience. Before saying ''it's for everyone'' or ''it's for any adult woman'', the customer should portrait a person the app will reach. That is the combination of the characteristics that matter, such as region, age, gender, social layer, occupation.

2. Project documentation
This is the customer's vision of the app. There can be various documentation useful for the project - specifications, mockups, wireframes. If they are available, the development will move on faster. If not, software developers can create them. Each demand should be discussed in detail.

3. Ways of implementation
Specialized developer teams get acquainted with the project. They may make suggestions that will help improve the future product. The final goal is defining the best technical ways to implement each requirement, taking the peculiarities of platforms and supporting devices into account. For special and complicated cases investigations can be performed.

4. Approval
The customer approves the project so it could be brought to development. Any further changes should be minimized. They may cause delays of the project deadline.

5. Development
There are three possible ways of development:
- A prototype - if the customer is still unsure of details, or is within a limited budget;
- Divided functionality - several versions of the app, with each new one bringing new features;
- A full version of the application.

6. Further changes
Changes during the development cause rewriting the code and time delay as a result. So if there are any, consulting with the development team will help the customer with further decisions. Such changes will affect the deadline. They can be applied with minimal delay if they are insignificant for the code. But sometimes the smallest visual changes can require much code rewritten. Thus it will take longer.

If the changes are critical, they still can be applied, but the application will require additional costs and time. On the other hand, there is an option of finishing the app as was approved, with the further QA and launch, for the customer would have a ready product on the market. Thereafter the customer may launch an app project that will incorporate these critical changes.

These steps facilitate the cooperation and the development of the software product. They are the best way of expressing the idea. Thus a software developer can understand what the customer wants, and create it with maximum quality and precision.
