When enterprises and companies are preparing to develop APP, they will first want to know: what do they need to prepare for developing APP? How to choose a good development company? How can we avoid unnecessary losses and disputes?
Let me tell you that developing an APP is a systematic process, and often requires some preparatory work. These preparatory work will largely determine whether the subsequent APP development will go smoothly. The preparation work includes the following:
1. Function and positioning
First of all, you need to confirm what kind of APP you want to create. The functions must be clear, and then the positioning (groups, fields) must be clear. Just like there are many brands of cars, so are APPs. There are mall apps, live broadcast apps, and community group buying. There are many APPs, medical APPs, educational APPs, etc. As long as these two parts are clear, the next work will be easier to carry out.
Second, try to refine the functional requirements
Requirements must be clear. Before developing an app, try to make a more comprehensive refinement of your app. Although most development companies will be equipped with product managers and planners, it is still more important to refine the functions in the early stage, and the requirements are clear. The APP development company can also clarify the cost and construction period more clearly. According to historical experience, the clearer the functional details in the early stage, the smoother the subsequent development will be.
Third, choose the development team carefully
To customize an APP, you need to choose a reliable development team. There are three basic conditions to judge whether a development team can provide perfect services:
1. Whether there is perfect staffing
2. Have you ever had successful development experience and have corresponding customer cases?
3. How about the after-sales service
A complete development team includes product managers, planners, interaction engineers, visual engineers, project managers, iOS programmers, Android programmers, back-end programmers and testers. According to the cases that the team has done in the past, the overall strength of the team can be clearly felt. After-sales service is the most important thing. Only a perfect after-sales service team can be said to be reliable. If a software goes down due to a system problem, the after-sales team can respond in a timely manner, and can quickly find the root cause of the problem and solve it.
Fourth, come out with a prototype before developing
Usually, the prototype of the entire APP will be designed before development. The prototype is a functional demonstration without data (empty run), which mainly presents the interaction and visual design of the entire APP. This process needs to be confirmed repeatedly. After confirmation, proceed to actual development. In this way, corresponding adjustments can be made in advance, preventing functional problems in subsequent development from being unresolved.
Five, the development process should be tracked throughout
Custom development of APP must pay attention to the tracking of the development process. Many custom developments are delayed due to poor communication in the development process. Sometimes you think he understands what you mean, and he also thinks he understands your ideas, so you don’t care Don’t ask, they immersed themselves in the development, and found that some functions were not properly communicated during the final test and acceptance. Therefore, we must repeatedly confirm the requirements, and don’t think it is cumbersome.
6. Prepare for subsequent upgrades and maintenance
The development of an APP is often the first step, and there will be a series of content such as product upgrades and maintenance that need to be arranged in the future. The completion of the development of an APP is not the end, but the beginning, whether it is timely maintenance of problems or follow-up functions. Secondary development, and sometimes due to budget issues, you may only develop a system with basic functions in the early stage, and then add other functions when the funds are sufficient. This needs to be considered in advance.
