Let’s Peep Into The Process
It’s obvious if you are looking forward to go with a native mobile application development, then you will be eager to know how the app comes into existence with the amalgamation of your vision and our expertise. Here is the process that TRooTech follows to transform into a full blown mobile application.
START WITH BRAINSTORMING PROCESSES
1.ENVISION
It may sound a bit cliché, but all the great things begin with a tiny little idea. Your idea will be the base that will decide the fate of your mobile application. We can help you to dive deeper into your idea and explore it in order to develop a mobile app that can do justice to your business and can turn out to be a great experience for the user as well.
2.RESEARCH
As they say the ground work is depicted in the result, so we need to carry out extensive research before proceeding with the design and development phase. Now there are a number of questions that needs to be answered in this research phase. Some of them are:
- Why is there a need to develop this app?
- Who is your target audience?
- How does it benefit your business?
- Will it increase the productivity of your business?
- What will be unique about this app compared to the similar applications in the market?
- What will be the timeline and budget for your app?
- How will this app help the customers or make tasks easy for them?
If you are looking for an app that has a rich and novel look and feel that complements the operating system as well flooded with latest functionalities, then you are choosing the right platform. Tell us your idea and we will research to put more light on the clarity of the application’s vision and features.
3.CLARITY OF FUNCTIONALITIES
After attaining knowledge of the market and exploring the idea for the mobile app, we need to evaluate our information of the research phase and determine the features that will distinguish our app from similar existing apps.
The functionalities should be incorporated depending on its need rather than with the approach to exaggerate the app with features. Adopting a forthright approach to define the features keeping the business needs and customer base in mind can lead to the expected results.
This step yields us the list of features that will be a part of the app, scope of work and a clear understanding of client’s business needs that goes hand in hand with user’s satisfaction.
4.LET’S DECIDE SOME STRATEGY!
Now our techies come into action, firstly our team drills down deep into the idea of the mobile application in order to strategize development of each and every module. This phase includes planning the layout for design and fabrication of the technological blueprint.
Design Strategy
After perceiving the idea for the mobile app, our team starts building the outline for the app. This includes laying out design for the entire application as well as each module keeping the features in mind and producing an extraordinary design that can convey the actual vision of the application.
Any mobile application has to be unambiguous and features should be apparent by the users. TRooTech offers all its resources to deploy the most innovative design that can kick the urge in users to use this mobile application owing to the customer friendly features that are depicted.
Technical Strategy
The design strategy defines the look of the application, now to bring it to reality a step by step technical ladder is developed for each module by deciding important aspects such as technology, framework, stack, planning database architecture, API, cloud based services, etc.
As we develop Android and iOS mobile apps in native technology itself, we can offer the best and tailor made features as native programming has access to all the inbuilt features so we have an upper hand in this area.
We maintain our standards by constant evaluation of the process and monitoring the planning till the mobile app is deployed in order to avoid any kind of issue.
5.DON’T WORRY, WE CARE ABOUT YOUR BRAND
No matter what is the position or popularity of your business in the real market, but a native mobile application development can totally be a booster for it. If you have an app for your business, it’s like a cherry on the top of you, as customers can access it now with utmost ease and can create a good impression as well.
We are here to take for the branding aspect, keeping the brand value intact in the mobile app as well. We make use of various elements that depicts your brand name such as favicons, tag lines, etc. that follows the brand colors and rules as well. We try to amalgamate the branding strategies with the UI design and mobile application platform features.
6.WE CREATE EYE-CATCHING DESIGN
Each user’s mindset is based on a single principle, “What you see is what you get”. So the design of the mobile application should be capable of portraying your vision behind the mobile application.
For developing the apt design for the app we go through the following process,
User Experience Design
Application Architecture
Here, we organize the features and relevant data in order to meet our mobile app’s design and thus we come up with a structure with an architecture depicting each feature, data related to it, and its place in the application. This architecture makes the latter process somewhat easier.
Wire Framing
Now that we have a structure to follow, our team starts creating the design for each screen with the functions, data and its place in the application. In this phase, basically we create all the screens that are going to be a part of the mobile application and define their functions using various tools such as Balsamiq mockups, Axure, Marvel, Invision etc. We consider this as an important phase, as we can make changes in any of the screen beforehand, rather than rewriting the entire code and compromising with our as well as client’s valuable time.
Navigation Module
Navigation module is basically for mapping all the screens that we created in the former phases. A user should be aware of how much navigation is required for completing their task. We do the mapping in such a way that a user can complete each task with the least number of clicks. Too much complication in navigation can lead the user to shut the app down and we can lose a valuable user.
We aim to nail this phase to perfection because if any of the screen, feature, or module, is left out without mapping then it can be determined in this phase and if something doesn’t fit in the architecture we can anyway make changes in the wireframes.
User Interface Design
Each platform comes with pre-defined design guidelines, and we offer the most interactive designs abiding to the design rules.
We start by developing a uniform style guide that portrays a feel at home for the users, as native applications give a touch of their platform in their UI. The design we build is complementary to the idea of the application and related to the target audience.
While designing the UI the aspects that we focus on are:
- Simple but effective layout
- Consistency in designing
- Accessibility and receptive navigation
- Selection of apt color palette and fonts
- Clarity of vision in the design
We tend to customize design with a view to make it enticing enough for each user base and so we consider all the parameters such as target audience, type of business, features and platform.
7.LET’S DIVE IN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Application Development
Now the actual show begins, it’s time for the plan to be brought into action. We use agile development methodologies to develop mobile applications in native technologies for Android and iOS as per the requirement, so there will be coding for each module in the respective core language, integration of relevant API’s and designing the algorithms for mobile application to come alive.
Database Architecture
The database works as the backbone of the entire mobile application. For some apps that don’t compulsorily require internet connection to store the data in the local system, i.e. the mobile device itself for ease of access and less time.
For apps that need a constant connection there are so many options for the database and they can use local system as well as cloud. But the only thing that needs to be taken care is the robustness of the database system, it should be designed such that data demanded by the user is easily fetched and displayed within the lease amount of time.
We at TRooTech make use of MySQL database owing to its information processing time and easy accessibility. This makes our customer requests easily handled and integration of third party APIs and servers more proficiently.
Front-End Development
TRooTech puts all the results of brainstorming from former phases in developing the most intuitive and lucrative design that is apt for your niche. We use native platforms for each technology to make use of the device features, dynamic binding, speed, etc.
The UI will have the native look and navigation will be lucid to help users through the mobile app and make them see what our vision behind building this app is. For Android applications we use XAML and for iOS we use objective C to make the most of the inbuilt functionality and boost our app.
Back-End Development
Backend mainly includes the following aspects, admin side creation, user management, push notification services, server side logic and API selection that are adaptable with the mobile application and platform.
After the development of the prototype there needs to be a usability testing in order to check that any part is not being missed due to technical limitations, and accordingly changes are done in the wireframes and so development of that part takes place again.
8.WHAT IS OUR TESTING PROCESS?
We are keen to deliver the mobile apps that meet the client’s demands and satisfy the user’s needs and so we leave no stone unturned to keep our best foot forward in making the mobile application fulfill its vision. For this we have a set of testing practices that needs to be met by a mobile application to be qualified for deployment and retain TRooTech’s quality standards.
Unit Testing
After development of each module, it is tested to be performing the task for which it was designed and only then it is pushed to further stages.
Integration Testing
After the modules are developed and unit testing is complete, the modules are interconnected in order to construct the architecture. After this integration testing is done on the connected modules to check their functionalities and connection.
Performance Testing
This testing is carried out to check the parameters such as responsiveness, usage of resources, stability, memory leakage, functionalities etc.
Interrupt Testing
This testing involves testing the mobile application for any misbehavior in case of any interrupt such as, incoming calls, messages, notifications, insert/remove cables, network availability, media player, etc. We ensure that we develop a mobile application can withstand these interrupts and behaves as it was designed to.
9.USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING
Once our side of the development and testing is done, we ask for the client’s review, after all it is going to be their brand’s face to the customer base. After the review, it will be clear whether we are on the same page with the client, if at all there are any changes than those changes are incorporated from whichever phase required and the entire process is iterated.
We keep conducting reviews till the client is satisfied with the mobile app and convinced that it is working as per the features and design they requested for.
10.LET’S START THE ADVENTURE
After the mobile app is properly configured for release, then we deploy the application firstly the API and backend on app store and then deployed on the respective app store, Google Play Store for Android apps and Apple’s app store for iOS applications.
Mostly a back-end server is required for almost all the apps for data transfer with the mobile application, and that needs to be scalable enough to handle any amount of user base. So we make sure to deploy the server in a scalable environment to handle traffic in case the user base may increase in future.
To deploy mobile applications in the app store there is a small process for formalities like details about the app, screenshot, description, etc. In case of Android applications, the app will be live on Google Play store by the end of the day after completing the formalities, while in case of iOS applications, Apple manually reviews each application that is submitted and suggests changes if required and so it takes a few days before the app goes live on the App store.
