Application Development

Application Development

Application development is the process of creating a computer program or a set of programs to perform the different tasks that a business requires. From calculating monthly expenses to scheduling sales reports, applications help businesses automate processes and increase efficiency. Every app-building process follows the same

Steps gathering requirements, designing prototypes, testing, implementation, and integration.

Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

The steps included in a systems lifecycle for developing a computer application are:

• Planning: Identifying a need, consideration of solution options, and possibly considering the features of competing applications.
• Analysis: Documenting the functional requirements for the app and anticipating potential problems that may be encountered.
• Design: Defining how the app will work and what features and components it will have.
• Construction: This is where the actual programming occurs using the requirements and design as a guideline.
• Testing: Try out the app looking for errors and confirming that documented requirements are met.
• Implementation: Making the app available for people to use.
• Support: Monitor user experience. Sometimes recommendations for revisions arise. If those recommendations are pursued, they will go through the lifecycle also.
