Accelerated time to market (TTM)

In these fast-paced times where market needs are constantly evolving, the timing of the launch of a new product is critical. Web app development is a highly resource-consuming endeavor, especially for small companies and start-ups with limited staff. Outsourcing your mobile app development services to CitrusDev can shave weeks off your TTM, free staff to concentrate on their tasks, and allow your team to be the first to market.

Mobile software development process

At CitrusDev, the lifecycle of mobile app development for iOS and Android is divided into the following six stages–each of which involves regular communication and collaboration with the client to create the most effective and efficient solution to their business needs.

Research:

We first meet with the client to understand their product or service, business goals, and user demographics to define the expectations and purpose of the project. Our business analysts also examine the industry standards to identify opportunities for the product or service within its particular niche.

UX and mobile app design:

After the pre-development data has been gathered, our mobile app design team will elaborate an interface that is accessible, discoverable, and efficient to optimize your customers’ on-the-go experience. During the design process, developers will build a wireframe or “blueprint” of the application and choose an appropriate platform (native, hybrid/cross-platform, or HTML5 mobile app) that best fits the client’s needs, budget, and time constraints. The app format needs to make a simple and easy-to-use first impression so that customers do not immediately delete it and download a competitor’s app.

Development:

Once the design passes a usability test, our team of backend engineers will establish the appropriate development environment and create the database and server-side objects. Frontend (or “client-side”) developers will begin the coding process of elements that users will see and interact with on the app. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are also built during the development process. Finally, a code review process will be run to ensure no major bugs are left to resolve at the end.

Testing:

During the testing phase, we verify that the app looks great, runs correctly, is secure, and fulfills the client’s needs and goals. Before launching the actual app, we develop a working prototype or “beta” version that can be used to pitch the product to investors and potential buyers as well as further define API, database, and storage needs. During the beta test, feedback is gathered from a select group of users to fix issues and earn visibility in app stores.

Release:

After the prototype clears the testing process, the app is launched in the App Store and/or Google Play Store, depending on the platform. At this stage, close monitoring is crucial to spot and resolve additional end-user difficulties to provide a pleasant and seamless experience and maintain customer confidence. In addition, the source code is saved in a central repository for future modifications and updates.

Maintenance:

Rest assured–our professional mobile application development services do not end after the launch of the app. We continue to track app performance and metrics to efficiently detect and resolve end-user problems. We also verify that the application is kept up to date to prevent bugs and maintain security. Additionally, we recommend adding new functionalities and features on an ongoing basis to keep the app fresh and appealing to customers.
