The process of building a mobile app

Every big innovation starts from a simple idea. What we see in the world today was once just concepts and ideas. It is the same for mobile app ideas and development. It’s not enough that you have a vision, but you have to execute that vision and turn it into a reality. This article aims to highlight the approach we take when turning a customer's vision into something real, A mobile App!

We follow these steps from an idea to a working solution:

Requirements Analysis:

Before we start building, we help the client to develop functional requirements that clearly describe how the solution is expected to work. Clearing these expectations creates room for us to think of practical ways, tools and methods that will get us to the solution. We define the methodology and the architecture of the solution.

Planning:

Once we have cleared the requirements, we develop a constrained plan to deliver the solution. At this stage we identify deliverables, split them into milestones and estimate how long it will take to complete the project as a whole. We draw up a project plan which will? be used as the benchmark in our project implantation phase. We draw up wireframes and high fidelity designs of the solution.?

Implementation:

Once the plan is in place, we start building with the future in mind. This means we build the different deliverables in isolation to allow plug-ability, maintainability and testability to be the core of the solution. With new ways of doing things being invented every day, we empower the solution by making sure that it can easily adapt and maintainable over time.

Delivery and testing :?

We provide continuous delivery to allow the client to keep on testing their solutions throughout the project lifetime. Breaking down the project into milestones enables us to continuously deliver testable small features to the client, clearing out any misunderstandings and ensuring smooth project delivery.

It's clear to see that mobile applications are becoming part of our daily lives. At Topcode we aim to create an agile, collaborative and iterative development process to bring our customers' ideas to life. Our way of working creates an open channel of communication that enables us to understand the client’s problem, clearly define all the milestones and expectations, and ultimately present an impactful and quality solution.
