This makes it easier to evaluate each part and simplifies the work to be carried out simultaneously by the programmers in each of these stages.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the software development cycle is a process that is iterative, made up of different stages, and methodically structured. It\u2019s the only possible way to<strong> ensure that the final product is of high quality<\/strong> and meets sought-after requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, by following an <strong>established method that guides the entire app\u2019s development process<\/strong>, it\u2019s possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/common-mistakes-building-app-for-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">avoid errors<\/a> that are prone to occur if the proper amount of time has not been allocated to each of the project\u2019s stages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8699\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8699\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8699 size-full\" title=\"illustration of mobile development stages \" src=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/app-development-lifecycle.gif\" alt=\"illustration of mobile development stages \" width=\"800\" height=\"527\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of the development process of an app. Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/development-6vcKIfhYt7WlG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giphy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, it might seem that the development stage is the most important one. However,<strong> the planning and analysis stage is undoubtedly the most relevant stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Many companies allocate to this stage only<strong> something between 10 and 15% of the total development time<\/strong>. This leads to <strong>cost overruns <\/strong>stemming from not having planned the product they needed correctly. By proceeding otherwise, they would have reduced the number of extra hours involved in solving unforeseen issues and reshaping the product to make it be as they had really conceived it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>You need help planning your mobile app development&#8217;s lifecycle? <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/?rel=EN-LNK#publish-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tell us about your project!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is software development lifecycle?<\/h2>\n<p>By software development lifecycle we mean the <strong>process followed to design, develop and test a mobile app or piece of software<\/strong>. The ultimate goal is to create a high-quality product that meets \u2014 or even exceeds \u2014 customer expectations. <strong>But it\u2019s a tad more complicated than this<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a process that must be completed while complying with the initial estimated time and costs. It goes beyond just simply creating an application: the app must be<strong> created successfully and in a streamlined manner<\/strong>. There lies the heart of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The software development lifecycle consists of several stages: <strong>planning, technical requirements, prototyping, development, QA (or testing), publishing and maintenance<\/strong>. We\u2019ll now take a closer look to get to know better what each of them is and which professionals they involve.<\/p>\n<h3>Planning<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8927\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8927\" style=\"width: 748px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8927 size-full\" title=\"poster with team members of the development of an app\" src=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/team-app-development.jpg\" alt=\"poster with team members of the development of an app\" width=\"748\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/team-app-development.jpg 748w, https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/team-app-development-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Development team of a mobile app. Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawpixel.com\/image\/93808\/free-photo-image-brainstorming-business-analysing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rawpixel<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During this stage, <strong>different professional profiles<\/strong> (project manager, marketing experts, business analyst, etc.) will work together to define properly what the project needs and how it will be developed.<\/p>\n<p>This stage revolves around assessing the app\u2019s business concept and purpose. And very importantly: it\u2019s also the stage when we must <strong>define its target audience<\/strong>. Understanding who your target customers will be is paramount in order to <strong>approach the app\u2019s subsequent launch strategy<\/strong>, as well as for other aspects such as <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/improve-ux-website-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UI design<\/a> \u2014 just to name an example.<\/p>\n<p>This stage is also the moment to study your rivals in the industry and carry out a SWOT analysis. Once all this information has been collected, it\u2019s time to <strong>decide on which platforms your product will be available<\/strong>, design your user acquisition and retention strategies, and plan your monetisation strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical characteristics<\/h3>\n<p>The technical characteristics to be met by the application will be defined during this stage. The entire project\u2019s requirements and its business approach will be detailed in the software\u2019s documentation, which will <strong>serve as a guide for all the professionals involved throughout its different development stages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Prototyping<\/h3>\n<p>This stage is usually carried out by a <strong>UX\/UI designer<\/strong>, who will be responsible for creating the app\u2019s sketches, wireframes, prototypes, and final graphic presentation.<\/p>\n<p>In the prototyping stage, <strong>the app\u2019s appearance and navigation<\/strong> will be defined step by step. This stage starts with the app\u2019s first paper sketches, which then develop into a wireframe and, subsequently, into a navigable <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/app-prototyping-best-practices-and-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prototype<\/a> simulating its use. This staggered course of action enables analysing the entire app\u2019s potential use cases, as well as detecting any kind of inconsistency or error in its original concept (to then be able to correct it).<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related content |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yeeply.com\/blog\/ciclo-de-vida-desarrollo-software-movil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mobile App Design: usability and user experience<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8928\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8928\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8928 size-full\" title=\"blue animation of wireframes of an app\" src=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/wireframes-mobile-app.gif\" alt=\"blue animation of wireframes of an app\" width=\"480\" height=\"271\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Examples of wireframes of an app. Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/producthunt-wireframe-platforma-for-ios-xT8qAZ3uzh0koyRAsM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Giphy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Development<\/h3>\n<p>This is by far the best-known stage.
