And your main goal when developing a mobile application is to create a quality product that will meet the expectations of potential users. So before you start working on the app, it is important to clearly define which stages of app development you need to consider. It is also important to understand what you need to pay special attention to at each stage.
If you have an idea and want to turn it into life, our article about the seven main stages of mobile app development will be useful for you.
The creation of any product begins with planning. A well-drafted project plan guarantees the successful realization of the product. At this stage, you need to do market research. You need to clarify the following questions: “What place in this market do you want to take?”, “Who are your competitors?”, “What applications do your competitors produce?”. This research will help you understand exactly what kind of app you need to create. You can use these approaches to get the most effective research results:
Planning is a very important stage of app development. You will be able to reduce the risks of financial losses, identify weaknesses of the project and eliminate them, and make more rational decisions.
Once you’ve figured out what kind of app you need to create and who your target audience will be, you can move on to defining the requirements for the app. The requirements can be general or very detailed. They should match the specifics of the business, the requirements of the user, and the system on which the application will be deployed.
In this step, you create a visual presentation of your future product. Now you can imagine what your application will look like. This information will help you correct all possible shortcomings, preventing some difficulties before you start developing the product, which in the end, will help you to release a quality application faster, minimizing the expenses for corrections.

The stage of developing a mobile app can be divided into two parts:
As a result, these two parts, back-end and front-end, come together to collect and transmit data.
So you have your app ready and you can’t wait to release it to the market. But there’s one more step waiting for you – quality assurance. This stage will allow you to detect any possible problems in the app before your customers notice them. And hence, you can avoid user complaints about a poorly working app and thus build a positive reputation for yourself.
At the quality assessment stage, you can test the compatibility of the app with different operating systems and devices, check how the app will work when the board is disconnected or overloaded. You can detect possible security problems with your app. You can also use beta testing. this form of testing allows you to find out how potential users will use it, to identify problems that users might encounter.
Only after testing everything thoroughly can you launch your product on the market. This way you can be sure of its quality.
Once you are sure that your app works perfectly, you can launch it into the marketplace. Your mobile app can be placed in stores such as the Apple iTunes App Store if it is an app for Apple iOS, and Google Play Store if it is an app for the Android system. Make sure that your app meets the requirements of these stores. Their requirements are outlined in the manuals.
Also, when launching your product, you should take care of an advertising program to promote the app successfully.
Once your product is in the hands of your users, it is a work in progress. Even flawless applications sometimes crash for a variety of reasons. To ensure that your application runs smoothly, you need to provide ongoing technical support. You can use a cloud service or admin panel to do this. Once an app is released to the market, it may still need Bug fixing, Code refining. Also, don’t forget about regular updates of the app. New versions should also work flawlessly.
