THE 6 STEP GUIDE TO BUILDING RAPID APPS
A HokuApps Perspective

• It is beneficial to chalk out a step-by-step plan
  at the anticipatory stage, in order to refer back
  to during the later stages. This is true for both
  experienced app developers as well as novices.
• 1. Make a List of All the Requirements
• Planning your moves is as important as assessing
  your needs.
• While most of our time is spent on gauging what
  the key requirements are, only on rare occasions
  do we actually think through the various
  complexities of using these to the advantage of
  our process.
• We need to go through with this exercise to make
  a solid plan.
• 2. Chalk Out a Plan
• While you are drawing out your plan of action, it
  would serve you well to classify your needs into
  primary needs and subcategories of needs.
• This fragmentation can be carried out with a
  divide and conquer algorithm, a very efficient
  planning system.

3. Piece this Plan Together in Segments   Let
each segment represent a module of the app with a
specific function, and map each module as a part
of the whole plan.   One of the modules of a
hotel booking app, for example, would have a
customer data module and another module would
provide options of available rooms for the
customer to choose from while booking.   Each of
these segments would also be interlinked,
however, like rooms in a building - one leading
to another through doors and corridors. 4.
Sketch Your App on Paper When youre involved in
the process of building an app, sketching is the
quickest method to give clarity to your ideas.
You should sketch more, especially while using
a RAD Platform, as this will enable you to
implement ideas effectively.

5. Plan the UI-Flow of the App Chart out the
step-by-step flow of the user interface from
what features the user will use first, to what
functions they will need to use to end the UI
flow once they are done using it. Include
possible scenarios in your apps UI flow to
facilitate smoothness of the users experience in
a bid to ensure high user friendliness. 6. Trial
and Error When you are using an Enterprise RAD
Platform and RAD software to develop an
enterprise app with low coding, you must take
into account the testing of the app before its
formal release in the market. The precise
picture is presented to you when you test out
your app. A RAD Platform facilitates tweaks to
the initial design after the testing phase. The
flexible non-waterfall approach provides room for
changes at any and every stage of the apps
development. The best part about developing an
app using a RAD Platform is this particular
facility for open-ended refinement.
