Stages of mobile application development

In our new article, the specialists of the “Sopa BlackOut” team tell what are the stages of mobile application development that are used in our work. All these stages will be passed by each client who left us an application.

There are several stages which we will describe in detail.

Gathering the requirements

In essence, we specify what exactly you need, the functionality of the future application, what integrations will be required, what you have of the infrastructure. At this stage, it is possible to sign an NDA if you have concerns about the exclusivity of the idea.

Estimated cost

We will estimate how soon the application will be ready, how many specialists will work on the project. Often the preliminary estimate may differ from the final cost of the work. At this stage we sign a contract and draw up a technical task for a correct estimate of the cost of the mobile application under development.

Development of the first release

Based on the requirements specification, developers write the code for the application. For large projects we recommend creating an minimal version of the product. This will reduce development time and allow you to test the hypothesis about the viability of the mobile application more quickly.

Testing

We will test the mobile app for bugs both manually and with automated testing. At this stage, we hand over the mobile app to you, after fixing all the bugs.

Publishing

If necessary, we will help with the publication of your mobile application in major stores. We will help you publish your mobile app both in our account and on the one created especially for you.

Technical Support

An optional stage. This is where we can gather feedback for you, solve user problems. We can also release updates for your application and check its performance.
