    Software Construction

    (Lecture 7)
    Concept of Mobile Applications, Tools, and Trends
    Mobile Application Development Process
    • Initiation
    • Design
    • Development
    • Acceptance
    • Support
    Initiation
    • Initiation talks about the transition of the project from sales team to
    technical team
    • Where they do initial project kick off with the client and sales team to
    understand the requirement.
    DESIGN
    • PROCESS FLOW
    • The Process Flow chart provides a visual representation of the steps in a
    process.
    • Flow charts are also referred to as Process Mapping or Flow Diagrams.
    • WIRE FRAME
    • Elements visible on each of the screen of the mobile application are discussed
    and noted down as wireframes.
    DESIGN
    • STORYBOARD
    • Everything including the images to be shown, icons appearing, theme, color,
    background, etc is a part of storyboard.
    • ARCHITECTURE DESIGN
    • Planning and development of application architecture is performed.
    • Coding is done to transform the idea to a real application.
    • TEST PLANNING
    • The application is tested for bugs by running various programs, performing
    checks at different conditions to ensure it is robust and flawless.
    DEVELOPMENT
    • PROTOTYPE
    • The app is still in proof-of-concept phase and only core functionality, or
    specific parts of the application are working.
    • Major bugs are possible.
    • ALPHA
    • Core functionality is generally completed (built, but no fully tested).
    • Major bugs are still possible in ALPHA release
    • Outlying functionality may still not be present.
    DEVELOPMENT
    • BETA
    • Most of the functionality completed in this release.
    • Implementation of some light testing and bug fixing.
    • Major known issues may still be present.
    • RELEASE CANDIDATE
    • All functionality is completed and tested.
    • With the exception of new bugs.
    TESTING
    • FINAL BUILD
    • It’s incredibly important to test your application early and often on actual
    devices.
    • Even devices with the same hardware specs can vary widely in their behavior.
    • FINAL RELEASE
    • Thoroughly tested the application during this phase
    • Finally made available to end users.
    SUPPORT
    • Customer support is a range of customer services to assist customers
    in making cost effective and correct use of a product.
    • It includes assistance in planning, installation, training,
    troubleshooting, maintenance, upgrading, and disposal of a product.
    What A Client Wants??
    • Fast And Transparent Communication
    • Excellent UI/UX Designs
    • Bug Free Coding
    • ROI (Return on Investment) Optimization
    • Tech Expertise
    • Fast Time to Market
    • Customer Support or Life Time Support
    Benefits of Mobile Apps
    • Business point of view • Customers / Users point of view
    • Accessibility • Easy to Use
    • Loyalty and Customer Retention • Instant notifications
    • Visibility • Different apps with different
    • Brand Recognition benefits
    • One stop interaction platform • Time effectiveness
    • Information on finger tips
    3 Types of Mobile Apps
    • Web Apps
    • Runs on web browsers on mobile phones (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari)
    • Build using HTML / CSS / JavaScript
    • Advantages
    • Easy to build and maintain
    • Use any web technology / web programming language
    • Cheaper than native and hybrid apps
    • Single app for all platforms
    • Disadvantages
    • Need to run in a browser (High level dependency)
    • Slower than native apps
    • Less interactive and less intuitive
    • No application start icon on mobile desktop (Bad user experience)
    • Cannot be submitted to app store
    • Cannot interact with device utilities
    Responsive Web Apps
    3 Types of Mobile Apps
    • Native Apps
    • Most common types of mobile apps
    • Build for specific platform (Android, iOS, Windows Phones)
    • Build using native programming languages (Java, Swift, Objective C)
    • Advantages:
    • Faster than web and hybrid apps
    • Distributed in app store
    • Interactive and intuitive
    • Interacts with device utilities
    3 Types of Mobile Apps
    • Native Apps
    • Disadvantages:
    • Single platform
    • Developed in complex and harder programming languages
    • Expensive
    • Hard to maintain
    3 Types of Mobile Apps
    • Hybrid Mobile Apps
    • Combination of web and native mobile apps
    • Build in HTML / CSS / JavaScript
    • Runs inside of container / webview
    • Advantages:
    • Easy to build
    • Much cheaper than native apps
    • Single app for all platforms (Cross-platform apps)
    • No browser needed
    • Usually access device utilities using APIs
    • Faster to develop than native apps
    3 Types of Mobile Apps
    • Hybrid Mobile Apps
    • Disadvantages:
    • Slightly slower than native apps
    • More expensive than web apps
    • Less interactive than native apps
    • Not as many plugins to interact with devices
