In the current era mobile app development in an enterprise is a challenging proposal with fast evolving technologies. App usage has been emerging at a faster pace. They come with different requirements in contrary to core IT systems that are under audit of corporate IT. With the recent mobile technologies, adequate methods of assurance and integration are required in order to cater featured application that lasts beyond a few business cycles. These applications must adapt to the changing user requirements and thus developers must remain in a steady discovery mode. They should keep on improving the application and should keep on experimenting with what works or what does not.
Why Mobile Apps are distinct: Traditional confined software developers do not face extra constraints that are applied to mobile applications.
More and more instances of mobile app development would take place with the large number of business and consumers using mobile applications. Augmented development technologies, processes and team culture are the few strategies that development teams have to implement for supporting mobility solutions. Thus, in order to drive business innovation, businesses are relying on IT organization by facilitating apps development with constant delivery.
Why Mobile Apps are distinct: Traditional confined software developers do not face extra constraints that are applied to mobile applications.
- iOS and Android are basic two platforms that have completely disparate tooling and programming features on which apps needs to be delivered. This is why these platforms make the app development process a bit arduous and crucial. Mobile OS versions, Form factors and device capability are the key aspects on which applications have to be tested upon. Testing a browser support in the context of HTML5 standard is relatively more easy in comparison to multi-platform testing.
- Testing of backend services should be done under varying, real-life network conditions as interaction with the backend service does not occur at the same time. Notifications, maps and location based services in mobile apps plays a significant role.
- Mobile vendors marketplace such as Apples App store or Google Play store should be a viable source of mobile applications due to increase in malware reports. Marketplace creates their own resistance as sometimes it can take more time for mobile apps developers for push updates, unless a new version is made available to mobile users. Moreover, for a long period of time, they have been demanding requisite for speed and rich user experience that is much different from those of web apps.
- Consumer would not give another chance to an un-installed mobile application. The app would never get re-installed again and neither it will get high ratings in the app marketplace. On the contrary website has the probability of getting revisited again if there is any change.
