App Development Mistakes To Avoid At All Costs
Today, we’re standing at the end of the year 2018 when developing an elementary mobile application is not a complicated process at all, thanks to free-flow of information & technology. Because of the same very reason, the mobile app development market is filled to the brim with competition as well. The app development trends may turn over in a jiffy, but still, there is no niche of the application can last very long without having the competitors jumping onto the bandwagon.
In this era of digitalization, where every developer’s top priority is versatile applications – having a perfect application is still a dream for most of them. Some applications are pretty amazing, but most of them are loaded with errors. There are also a number of methods available to trim down those errors & they can be pretty effective as well, but they are mind-boggling too.
So what is the righteous thing that can be done? We all have heard the proverb “Prevention is better than cure.” & that is very much applicable here. Instead of curing the mistakes, people should focus on not making any mistakes at all. Which is why we have come up with some of the most common mistakes which developers commit during app development. They are:
- Adding Features Which No One Asked For
Well, it is the responsibility of the UI designers to give the application the elements which make it attractive & the UX designers are purely accountable to enhance the user experience. But there are times when to make the app pretty versatile, app developers may end by adding some features which are completely unnecessary.
So it is important to understand that only those features should be present in the application which are required & enhance the functionality of the application.
- Lack Of App Testing
Another big blunder which developers make is – not testing the application enough. In most of the cases, this is because the developers try to cut down the excess costs. But what they don’t realize is even the tiniest mistake may lead to the loss of precious time & money as well.
So the application testing cost should be included in the contract. There can be a separate vertical of development cost while developing the app.
- Ignoring The Analytics
Google Analytics provides us with an actionable insight which aids in developing a robust platform. It is the source of some of the most instinctive idea which inspires a successful mobile application. So the essential part of the analytics is to take decisions which are data-driven, especially when it comes to the content, design & the user experience.
- No Post-Launch Bugs Support Plan
Even after testing the app, the errors of the application or the bugs still manage to slither in. Whenever a client points you out, the error is resolved immediately. If you want to avoid unplanned adventures, you should always go out for an agreement. If the bug reported is because of your fault, then to give yourself protection you should go for unlimited debugging sessions. If it is not your fault, then you shall be rewarded. This is because to cut-off the excessive cost, the developers should insert post-launch debugging in the contract.
Hence, we can say that to avoid all the mobile app development mistakes, all the aforementioned errors should be avoided. This will not only save you time & money but will help you in the long-run.
