Due to the digital transformation, more and more companies choose to include agile methodologies that allow optimizing the development of projects in their work processes. At Hyperlink InfoSystem, after 9 years of experience in the sector, we work through a process based on agile methodologies for the development of our apps.
Understand Agile Methodologies
The origin of agile methodologies is found in the writing of the agile manifesto in 2001, by 17 critics of the software development improvement models. The agile manifesto raises the discovery of better ways to develop software, based on experience.
In short, the manifesto declares the learning to value:
- Individuals and interactions, on processes and tools.
- Software running, on extensive documentation.
- Collaboration with the client, on a contractual negotiation.
- The response to change, about following a plan.
Currently, we understand agile methodologies as those that allow us to adapt the way of working to the conditions and needs of each project. Compared to traditional methods, greater flexibility is achieved through this adaptation. It helps to modify the project planning according to the specific circumstances of the external environment.
Using this type of methodology makes it possible to tackle different complex projects, which usually require great flexibility and speed in order to execute each of the tasks necessary for the development of the project.
The strategy proposed in this type of methodologies is aimed at achieving very specific objectives thanks to the separation of tasks, where possible errors that may occur in each of the project phases can be managed and normalized.
Agile Methodologies To Develop Quality Apps
Agile methodologies have become an increasingly common working method due to digital transformation, since this implies being in constant adaptation and is characterized by being flexible in the face of any change.
Agile methodologies are a good solution for a large number of companies and short-term projects, where the requirements are changing, regardless of the business environment. Even so, it is important to note that this type of methodologies are usually used in projects related to the development of apps, since they have to satisfy very specific characteristics and conditions with different changing variables.
Scrum: A Top Agile Methodology Framework
Scrum stands out for being a tool that breaks down each of the developments of large projects. It creates smaller projects divided into different stages such as analysis, development and testing. From this breakdown, it is intended to know what are the different tasks to be carried out, in each of the phases to achieve the final objective of the project.
Advantages of Agile Methodologies To Create Apps
Greater Efficiency
One of the main advantages, for which agile methodologies stand out, is that they allow you to improve the efficiency and productivity of your work due to the constant evaluation of the work that is carried out.
Save Time And Costs
On the other hand, it is important to highlight the savings in time and costs involved in working through agile methodologies. This is because, thanks to using this type of techniques, it allows working in a much more efficient and faster way, and, therefore, delivery times and the agreed budget can be met more easily.
Improving Customer Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is improved because they are more involved, throughout and in all phases of the project. The fact that agile methodologies work in different stages means that, at the end of each of these, the process and the achievements obtained in each of the phases are evaluated. This helps promote a great exchange of information and detect potential problems. Hyperlink InfoSystem can assist you with the development of excellent mobile app in Egypt.
Tips To Avoid Errors During Mobile App Development
Functional Tests
We conduct exploratory functional tests on the most widely used iOS and Android devices. All testing is done on real hardware devices as compatibility testing is essential with such a wide variety on the market.
In addition, we are closely following the release presentations of major manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, HTC and Apple. When new devices from these companies hit the market, we analyze the market share potential and, if necessary, pre-order new devices to ensure that we test your applications on devices before they are available to users.
Analysis Of The App Reviews
Since app reviews and ratings are an important factor in whether or not users download your app, an analysis of the app reviews is necessary. When the analysis is complete, the results are compared with other applications in the same category.
Test Review
A full app functionality review and app review analysis. The review includes:
- Test result analysis with information about tested devices, operating system and operating system versions
- List of recommended improvements for each platform
- App review and app rating benchmark analysis
At Hyperlink InfoSystem, we never see a project as complete. Changes will continue in the future, and new platforms, operating systems and devices will continue to follow. We offer proactive monitoring as part of our testing and review process to take into account market changes and further improve the quality and usability of your app.
