Your Idea and Your App
You have a business, a service or a product, which needs to be enabled on mobile devices? You have a killer-app idea and wish to bring it to reality? That's the only thing our clients need to answer when pulling us to enable their requirements. When there is a superfluity of devices with varying set of platforms, we have proven ourselves in realization of the ideas right from deciding over features to going-live as a consistent application over all the platforms. We bring in the best resource pool to realize your ideas & requirements. When we say that we build apps for people and not for devices, we mean it. We have proven ourselves useful in making device independent apps for people.
Design
Our design approach starts off with simple pencil sketches. Though old fashion, no modeling tool has matched the quick turnaround and productivity of this method, yet. A quick sketch by our designers ensures that we are on same page with our clients when kick starting the real digital designs. The digital designs are essentially rendered from the initial sketches and requirement inputs. After identifying a harmony between the features and the usability, a storyboard is created; documenting all navigational and interactive aspects of the application. Subsequently, these are used to develop the pixel-perfect digital mock-ups. Since this process is closely related to how our clients see their application, care is taken to keep it utmost flexible before the design blueprint is approved and submitted for coding.
Architecture
A mobile application is no longer a standalone application and neither it is once in a lifetime release. We architect applications that are aligned to our client's business needs and are scalable, compatible and cost effective. We have a skilled workforce to design and develop applications which integrage to a wide range of backend technologies.
Development
After the project kick-start, our development team lists out the major objectives of the application and thereafter these objectives are broken into enabling features. These enabling features & the proposed architecture guide us to the project specific application structure and development approach. We also define technical requirements such as web services, content management system, application programming interfaces, and communication protocols required for the application. We gather a cross functional team of application builders & plan our prioritized set of features for the latest iteration. Every iteration aims to finish up with a shippable software asset, which is a certain usable module of the final application. These assets are incrementally approved and integrated, resulting in the final product.
Testing
When our development team starts working on listing down the enabling features, our testing team starts with the test scenarios in which the features can put through the test. These scenario flows are further detailed into test cases. When a developer refers to a feature requirement, the test scenarios are also taken into consideration and need to be passed before functionality is ported onto a test bed. Just our way of test driven development! Since seeing is believing, in order to ensure no surprises at the end of final delivery, our clients can actually see the application growing bit-by-bit, as an installable or executable code for their devices. We believe this to be the best risk mitigation methodology!
Launch
Practice makes us perfect -We follow the principle to release early and release often. The disparity of staging and production environments turns out to be a major pain point in releasing the software to go-live, and risks last minute firefighting situations. By making incremental releases to the target environment, we reduce the possible risks of having any last minute glitches. Evidently, this practice has also significantly increased the maturity of our release management team on a variety of web hosting platforms.
