The mobile app
development can take boringly long but certain ways can help developers speed
the process.
CEOs of startups and mobile app
developers working for them know how difficult it is to execute a mobile app
development with high speed and the best quality. The infamous longer
development lifecycles, as compared to traditional web apps, have already been
problematic for both businesses CEO’s and the mobile app developers. Businesses
keep stressing their developers rapidly conclude a project so that they can be the
first to market. But then there is differences between a timely launched
product and a product that slips at making its presence anywhere because of
being late or low in quality.
Fortunately, there are ways to improve
the app development, through making improvement in the app development
lifecycles. Here are ways to do this.
Begin development
with low fidelity wireframes to save time and money.
If
yours is not a complex app, and it does not require too much planning via
blueprints, then you can cut the cost by using low-fidelity wireframes to map
out and plan the design and architectural view of your app. Contrary to
high-fidelity wireframes, low-fidelity wireframes save a lot of time. They are
basically rough sketches that can serve as blueprints for the development of an
app. Creating them is almost a no cost investment as they can also be drawn on
paper.
Adopt
the Lean Method, Launch Your MVP and Start Testing
The
development cost and the time required in the development can be hugely cut
once you enter the market with an MVP (minimum viable product). A Minimum
Viable Product (MVP) is a product with just enough features to satisfy early
customers, and to provide feedback for future product development. Once MVP
starts to get responses from customers, you start to get a variety of data that
help you come with a better product in the future. An MVP is created with
keeping the core features of a product in mind. The fancy features, which are
not the part of the core functionalities, are excluded from it.
Consider
Hybrid Mobile Development Solutions
One of the best ways to cut down the cost of a
mobile app development is that use hybrid mobile app development solutions such
as Adobe Phonegap and Xamarin which use a single database to target multiple
operating systems. Unlike the native approach which requires creating a full
separate version of an app for a separate platform, the hybrid approach only
requires creating platform specific tiny wrappers which can run the web app
inside them.
In this scenario the major investment of time and
cost only go to the single app and the cost can be hugely decreased.
Outsource
Non-Core Development Features
If
you have plans to come up with more than merely an MVP and you have enough
budget to get it done, nor really running out of time, then you can also
outsource the non-core features to third-party developers. By this way both the
core app and all its non-core features can be developed side-by-side and in the
end, they can be combined into a single app.
Set
Up Automated Testing To Ensure App Security
The
best way to rapidly conclude a development with excellent security and quality
is to apply automatic testing approach during the development. This helps
developers simultaneously runs tests that manually may take several hours of
time. Also, you would be much more confident that you are building a bug-free
code.
Apply these approaches to
your mobile app development project and you will significant improvement in the
entire life cycle.
