• While mobile application development is a growing
  industry, its also a very competitive one.
  Youre up against thousands of other businesses
  who see the need to invest in mobile application
  development.
• Further, the application development process is a
  complex mechanism. It includes different stages,
  requires special skills, software, and tools
  and each stage must be completed with high
  accuracy.
• However, if you intend to create an app for your
  target audience, understanding the mobile app
  development life cycle will help you know how to
  proceed so that you get it right the first time.
  It will also help you understand what you require
  and what to expect during the development process.

What is Mobile App Development Life Cycle?

• The mobile app development life cycle is a
  process that involves the concept of creating,
  testing, launching, and measuring the performance
  of an app. It goes through the stages of roadmap
  planning, defining scope and objectives,
  designing requirements or designs, prototyping,
  implementing, and testing.
• Mobile app development life cycle is a spectrum
  of tasks which allow you to experience a smooth
  and seamless app usability. It also helps in
  customizing your app within the framework of
  existing needs. It includes all the steps that
  require you to develop, launch and maintain your
  mobile app.

• We will talk about this App Design.

• We will talk about this App Roadmap.

• Then, we will talk about App Prototyping.

• After that we will talk about App Development.

• We will also talk about App Testing.

• And we will talk about this App Maintenance.

App Roadmap

• Before beginning the app development process, a
  strategy must be in place on how they will make
  the mobile application, which should contain the
  following
• What will be the purpose of this application?
• What might be the unique selling point of your
  app?
• Who is your target audience?
• What do they want from your app?
• It is essential to define these points before
  developing an app. It helps determine what
  features or functions need to be included as part
  of an application so that it is helpful for users.

App Design

• Once the roadmap planning is complete, it is time
  to design the layout of your app. The goal of
  design is to provide users with a seamless
  experience that looks stunning. How well users
  adopt and utilize a mobile apps features
  determines the apps success. Creating dynamic,
  spontaneous, and user-friendly software is the
  aim of effective mobile app UI/UX design to
  generate compelling user experiences. Below are
  some examples of necessary design elements
• Architecture and workflow An apps architecture
  should be simple so users can easily navigate the
  application to get where they want. When
  designing an app, it is critical to consider how
  the user will move through each step and what
  actions they will perform. Having a simple and
  intuitive user experience is paramount for
  achieving a great rating on Google Play and
  Apples App Store.
• Wireframe Wireframes are a great way to
  communicate ideas and plans with clients and
  other developers early in the design process.
  They are a good visual representation of an apps
  layout and functionality, saving time and effort
  later.

App Prototyping

• Prototyping is an essential phase of the app
  development process. It helps in understanding
  what works and what doesnt work and ensures that
  you can work with your developers to constantly
  improve the product until its at its very best.
  You can do this through
• Short development cycles You can develop an app
  quickly using a prototype as your blueprint. It
  is handy if you have many requirements or
  detailed designs.
• Quick decision making A prototype allows you to
  go through the design and development process
  quickly to make changes and achieve faster
  results. It will help in decision-making,
  enabling you to test an app before it is
  released.

App Development

• The app development phase is believed to be the
  most expensive and time-consuming stage of the
  whole mobile application development scheme. It
  includes tech requirements, design, and actual
  coding of the app. App development is the most
  important step of the entire application creation
  process. Its a vital stage, as it determines
  both how your final app will look and how easy it
  will be to use. The coding phase consists of
  front-end and back-end development. The initial
  phase develops the appearance of the system and
  all functions associated with it, but not
  necessarily the underlying systems. The next
  phase builds the backbone for all systems, such
  as data analysis processing. Front-end represents
  all functions related to the user interface,
  whereas back end represents all functionalities
  that are behind the scenes, such as data analysis
  processing. The idea is to enable interface
  functions in a manner that is seamless and easy
  to use.
• Front-end development Front-end development is
  the app part that deals with how well the user
  can see, understand, and interact with the app.
  It involves the user interface and related
  elements, including images, videos, text, and
  multimedia. Rich internet applications (RIAs),
  which employ rich media like graphics, animation,
  and audio, are used by the front-end layer.
• Back-End development The back-end development is
  the part of the mobile app that deals with the
  database and its data. It involves programming
  the applications database to store and retrieve
  data like web pages or text messages. It also
  deals with the logic and programming needed to
  make the app function, such as retrieving and
  displaying information.

App Testing

• Building and deploying an app primarily follows
  two stages, development, and stabilization.
  Developers create the applications first version
  and then QA experts would test it, so as to find
  errors, defects, and make amendments. However,
  the methods they take while testing can also vary
  and differ.
• The testing and debugging process is an essential
  aspect of development. Its used for determining
  the effectiveness of a program, prior to its
  release. Application testing process starts on
  the alpha phase and continues beta and release
  phases. The general product testing process may
  differ depending on the organization due to its
  policies, goals, and development processes.
• Further, app testing is a lengthy procedure
  during deployment phase. It includes testing of
  usability, accessibility, functional analysis,
  performance efficiency, security tests, user
  acceptance and device and platform review.

App Maintenance

• After your application has been uploaded on the
  App Store or Google Play market, you will start
  updating it with new features, new versions, or
  bug fixes. You will need to provide tech support
  for your product, as well as deal with users
  feedback and requests in order to improve the app
  and make it even better. The app maintenance
  process is as important as the process of app
  development. In fact, it is even more important
  because it helps you to fix bugs and errors,
  maintain the desirable performance level and
  receive more positive reviews from your customers
  all these will increase the ratings of your app
  in the online markets.
• No matter how brilliant your app idea may seem,
  one thing is certain, the Mobile App Development
  process is tricky. It always has been and will
  most likely be in the future too. The struggle to
  find a service that builds high-quality apps is
  gaining momentum among entrepreneurs and business
  owners. We at XDuce make application development
