It is the age of speed! If you don’t keep up with the market, it is very possible that you will miss out on releasing your app before the market gets saturated with the same or similar apps.
To become the top competitor in your market, it is essential to find the best methodologies for speeding up your app development.
That’s why you should always look at the best ways to effectively and efficiently develop your mobile app and that’s why the PieceX Marketplace will be glad to offer some useful out-there tips and tricks on how to increase your app development speed.
A) Try-out The Agile Methodology
Agile development is the methodology that follows the idea of continuous iterations of development and testing throughout the project, not following a single full-scale development that then follows full-scale testing but an all-throughout idea to quickly build and quickly fix things as you go through your app development process.
This may sound complicated but it is not. The simple idea of taking each functionality, developing it and then testing it and then redeveloping and then retesting until you get the result you hope for.
Most large companies focus more on developing full-scale applications and functionalities before testing and this usually takes a lot of time to modify and fix, which makes the Agile Methodology one of the quickest methods of app development.
B) Build A Development Team
One of the things you could do to quicken your app development time is to build a team specific for the development of said app.
This is a highly efficient way, however, it is very reliant on how big your budget is. The bigger your budget the more advanced the team would be and the more members you’d be able to add to it.
If your budget is not big enough, you may have some hard time building a development team as it is mostly quite costly to do so, especially if you want to develop your app from scratch.
C) Acquire Off-The-Shelf Source Code
This may be the most convenient method to speed up your app development. Software Source Code for ready-to-use apps can be customized and completely reshaped using the code that the app already has to quicken the process.
The way this works is when individuals or companies create an app and choose to reuse the code of the app by selling it on different source code marketplaces such as PieceX.
With a very simple process of browsing the marketplace, you can find the source code of an application very similar to the one you are trying to build, and you can very simply purchase and begin building on it.
This usually cuts down app development time and cost by up to 80%, as the cost it would take to hire a team would be very high and the source code you’d acquire as well as the customization of it into your own app would be quite less than the amount of time and cost it would take to build your project from scratch.
That’s why it is very advisable for someone looking for App development to seek out ready-to-use vetted and inspected source code from software component platforms similar to PieceX.
D) Outsource Development
If you’re developing your app with your very own hands (and fingers) it would be very efficient to have someone else put their hands on it too.
This will most likely quicken the process of your app development and give you an extra set of eyes and ears to support your progress.
It may, however, prove to be a little problematic as the process of Outsourcing itself may take quite some time to accomplish and finding the right talent is often a difficult task. Which is what takes us to our 5th method
E) Request Support/Customization
If you opted to acquire software source code to build your project on, the PieceX Marketplace offers the opportunity to get support from the developer of the source code you purchased.
This also includes offers for extended support which could mean entire app customizations and building for the time frame of your entire project.
The process is quick as you don’t have to search for someone specific but the very developer of the app itself will be the one to assist you and help you finish your project in as little time as possible.
Conclusion
App development can be quite time-consuming, but with the right methodologies and processes, you can very much get yourself in the market in incredibly efficient time.
There are many more methods on how to increase development such as test automation and using low-fidelity wireframes, but in this article we tackled the most convenient immediate solutions and methodologies that would speed up your app development.
