Custom app development is an important step in growing your business and optimizing resources. Being able to rely on software tailored to your business needs
is an added value:because it allows you to rely on an application that “knows” your organization and therefore guarantees better results, simply.
Moreover, lo Custom Development is a feature that highlights the enterprise; therefore, it offers a competitive advantage in the market that should not be underestimated.
In order to taylored software, SORINT.lab works alongside the client along the entire chain of processes required to achieve exactly the desired result, from planning to performance monitoring
Custom app development: goal definition
First, it is important to establish the goal of the app:
- What is to be achieved?
- What is its main purpose?
Clearly identifying the goal helps keep the focus throughout the development process. For example, knowing the intended audience of the app is essential o designing a truly effective user interface and user experience. In addition, it is critical to understand the needs, behaviors, and preferences of the intended audience.
In the planning phase, all the requirements of the app are also collected and documented as well as an initial version of the budget established, which is then refined in later stages as the app takes shape and thus we are able to get a gradually more definitive perspective of the tools used and the processes involved.
Custom app development: design and prototyping
Once the goals have been established and requirements gathered, the next step is app design. This phase involves creating a framework and architecture for the app, along with initial prototyping. Beyond this, developers define the architecture of the app, including the framework and technologies to be used, as well as how the app’s data and functionality will be managed.
At this point, the user interface and user experience are also designed, which are critical elements for the success of an app: layouts, colors, typography, and interactive elements are designed to ensure an intuitive and engaging user experience.
Creating a prototype of the app allows you to visualize how the app will look and behave interactively; therefore, it is critical to ensure that development is proceeding as planned. This prototype can be used to gather feedback and make changes prior to actual development.
Custom app development: implementation
Once the design is complete, it is necessary to move on to the actual development and implementation of the app. This phase in turn requires several subphases:
- programming;
- testing;
- components.integration.
Each of these subphases is carried out on each of the app’s functionalities to ensure that the implementation is effective and, most importantly, schedule-compliant. It means that these subphases represent, in turn, a cycle, which is repeated for each feature: the cycle ends with one feature and begins again with the next.
During the implementation phase, developers start writing the app code following the specifications and architecture defined in the design phase. During this phase, programming best practices are adopted and high standards of code quality are maintained..
Integration of testing is crucial to ensure that the app works properly and is free of bugs or problems. Functional testing, UI testing, and other specific tests are conducted to ensure the robustness of the app.
Custom App Development: Deployment and Monitoring
Once the development phase is complete, custom app development involves distributing the software and starting to monitor usage and performance. This phase ensures that the app is ready for public use and runs efficiently over time. The app is uploaded to a server or distribution platform, ready to be downloaded and used by end users. It is necessary to ensure that the distribution is smooth and that the app is accessible to users.
Once the app is launched, it is essential to monitor its performance. . This includes checking key metrics, including:
- response time;
- resource utilization;
- app stability.
Finally, after launching it is important to gather feedback from users and make any improvements. App updates are essential to adapt the app to the evolving needs of users and to fix any problems that have arisen after launch: they should not only be considered for bug fixes, but also for the introduction of improvements and new features.
