The very first step of an ideal mobile app development process is to define the most suitable strategy for your app. Before you start your mobile app development process, it’s necessary to clarify your app’s vision. Answering these questions upfront will be helpful in identifying the most important criteria in developing a mobile app:
By noting down every criterion, you want to include in your app, you will focus your vision on a clearer picture of your app idea. With this in mind, you can go deeper into the next phase, which is preparing a product roadmap.
An ideal product roadmap should prioritize the mobile app requirements and group them into delivery milestones. If time, resources, or costs are a concern, then define your minimum-viable product (MVP) and prioritize this for the initial launch.
How well the user interface (UI) and experience design (UX) perform is a crucial factor determining the success of any mobile app development process. The goal for mobile app UI / UX design is to create excellent user experiences making your app interactive, intuitive, and user-friendly. While UI design provides the visual that attract users at first, an intuitive UX design is a key component to ensure users’ engagement.
Multiple aspects discussed below should be taken into consideration in the design process:

The developing stage includes multiple activities such as establishing the development environment, developing various parts of the code, preliminary testing and creating the app that can be installed and tested.
A typical mobile app project is made up of three integral parts: back-end/server technology, API(s), and the mobile app front-end.
Almost any web programming language and database for the back-end can be used for app development. For native mobile apps, you can choose a technology stack required by the targeted mobile platform – Android or iOS. Objective-C or Swift programming languages are used for developing iOS apps, while Java and Kotlin are popular for Android app development. Thus, there is more than one programming language and technology stack for building mobile apps. The key is picking a technology stack that is best suited for your mobile app.
Testing is a crucial stage in the mobile app development process. It lets you know the quality of the app by identifying defects in the app and resolving them. The testing phase may overlap with the development stage in many ways, and this depends on the way the development is planned and executed.
App testing comprises various types such as user experience testing, functional testing, performance testing, security testing, and device and platform Testing. The testing phase is completed when all problems and bugs are resolved, and the app is approved for launch by the project manager.
Deploying stage marks the beginning of the market phase of the app. This could require the deployment of the backend before the app can be published in the app stores for downloads.
Launching a native mobile app requires submitting your app to the app stores, Apple App Store for iOS apps, and Google Play for Android apps. However, you will need a developer account with Apple App Store and Google Play Store before launching your mobile app. Listing the app requires meeting the specific guidelines of the respective app store.
In the Supporting and Maintaining phase, the mobile app development team implements app monitoring tools (e.g., Crashlytics, Google Analytics, Firebase) to your product. Thanks to these tools, developers can detect crashes, follow the app’s statistics, and plan product enhancements. A good app maintenance service should make sure your app stays attractive, adapt to changing market conditions, and users’ feedback.

DevOps started in 2009 as an idea to make teams work better together. Over ten years, it has changed from an idea to a common working method, where everyone knows their job and expectations. However, what companies expect from a DevOps worker can differ from place to place. As technology and working methods change quickly, the DevOps future becomes hard to tell. Because of this rapid change, even talented people looking for jobs sometimes feel a bit lost. Importance of DevOps in The Current Technological Landscape DevOps brings together the people who create software (Dev) and those who keep it…
