Every app is different, but tried and tested mobile app development process ensure that your app is a success. That means it?s delivered on time, it?s bug-free, and it does everything it?s supposed to do. Let's take a look into the steps to follow while developing a mobile app:
Assessment of the tasks
Understand the details
Analyze your audience
Compose use cases
Competitor Analysis
Search through blog content
Explore the app store
Give competitive products a try
Search for inspiration and interface mechanics
Look at Scoutzie, Dribbble and Behance
Stay up-to-date on recent articles and design concepts
Explore other devices and platforms
Combine your findings
As a result of your search, you will inevitably end up with a mountain of articles, photos, screenshots and most important reviews. Now, put all of that away for a few days and then sit down and think, how could you combine the most successful mechanics and interfaces, ideas and concepts, while not forgetting to pay attention to whether users are praising or dissing these products. Could you do it? Great, let?s go on then.
Eliminate Overhead
Remove Secondary functions : The first version of the product should have only the most important ones, and everything else could be saved for the consecutive releases.
Do your best on the primary functions: Focus on the primary functions and polish them - all the critical functions of the product shall work perfectly. Spend as much time on this part as necessary, but remember to stay focus on the core product.
Compare with the original goal: It?s really easy to get carried away while working on a design projects. As you?re doing the creative work, always keep in mind the business objective, the audience and the personas. If everything is going as originally planned, carry on. If not, now is a good time to correct the course.
Compare with the platform guidelines : Spend some time to compare if your designs comply with the platform?s guidelines: corner radiuses, angle of light and shadows, font size and many other minor details that impact the look and feel of a product, many of these are very different between the platforms. Your goal should be to make the most beautiful and well functioning application ever known to mankind. Right? Then be sure to do the right thing.
Test the prototypes
Test the prototypes on your devices
Give it a go, on multiple screens
Focus on Details
Think through the animations
Pick action sounds
Add little pleasures
Beta test the product and perform the design review
Be an active participant in the development stage
Participate in beta testing
Compare the developed product to the original designs
Don?t be afraid to append and change the product along the way
Gather Reviews
Read everything people say about the app in press
Follow the blogs
Show off your work
Professional design networks will help you collect a number of peer opinions about your product. They will point out your flaws, which others weren?t able to see.
