A Guide To Speed Up Your Mobile App Development Timeline

A brand needs to expand its customer reach across the million users around the world. It is beneficial for businesses to launch their app as soon as possible because other competitors might come up with a similar idea and release it in the runway before them.


It is crucial to partner with an app development company that ensures to create an idea that is appreciated by the target market and knows to maintain a balance between quality and speed. If you are a developer who is looking for a few resources to speed up the process of app development, you are at the right place. Let us discuss a few ways to quicken the mobile app development timeline.


Prefer Low-Fidelity Wireframes: We use the approach of low-fidelity wireframes (which contains only abstract details) for planning the app layout straight from the design and architectural view. We prefer low-fidelity wireframes over high-fidelity ones because they serve as a basic-level guiding blueprint, which saves enough time. Wireframes enable the development process and designing process to sync. It offers the aim of the apps' functionalities to the developers as well as directs a UI designer to plan the interface. The part that it brings everyone the same page is no less than a cherry on top.

Launch only Minimum Viable Product: We prefer a lean method and provide our clients with an MVP instead of a complete app to help them step into the market speedily. Firstly, we gather data via a build-measure-learn review loop, and then we continue with the design and development process using the feedback. We don’t compromise with the efficiency in the race of making it quick. Therefore, we keep inserting new elements in a regular interval of 2-4 weeks.
And, test every process that is involved in the cycle to make sure that nothing is out of track and customers are satisfied with the quality as per their demand.

Design a review prior to planning race: First of all, we design a goal that we want to achieve in the specific sprint and follow up with a demo on the achievement of the completed work. We are ready with a shippable product by the end of the sprint, even though it is incomplete. To save more time, we limit the feedbacks and sessions of improvement discussion and work on the priority first. Our goal is to keep the minimum development time, but we make sure that everyone involved in the sprint runs parallel.

Short release cycles: We introduce essential features in an app and offer them to the client to keep the release cycles short. This leads to rapid deployment and speeds up the process of feedback. All of this is made possible by following these three steps:
1. Identify the MVP.
2. Automation Testing.
3. Roll out to a pilot group to generate feedback.
With the frequent release of elements, it becomes easy to examine the performance of the features among the people's pilot group, which is similar to our targeted prospects.

Automated Testing: The approach of mobile app testing automation follows fast development cycles during the development of a quality and secured app. For quality assured purposes, we introduce an AI to run several tests simultaneously; otherwise, it would take hours or more to finish the test review manually. When we increase the speed of the text execution, we can extend the coverage almost in the same time frame.

Component-based user interface: It is another approach to speed up the app development timeline. With the help of this process, we develop a sustainable framework that saves an enormous amount of cost and time expenses on mobile app development. It can also be exchanged across apps. We firmly believe that every project is not the same, so, we also submit the source code to the client after the development. But, in order to save time, we reuse those code components in apps whose use stories are exactly equivalent to each other.
We communicate about this with the client at the time of development itself so that no sort of confusion is invited at the end.

Team Flexibility: A dedicated team in the house is the talk of the biggest strength. We are an independent body that can effectively handle all the offload non-core activities by ourselves. Even if any assigned work assigned requires additional resources, we cover the manpower gap in the least possible time. This helps us to develop every project quickly.

Thorough QA sessions: After reaching every individual destination in the process of app development, we conduct a test on quality assurance. We check on the quality of every app’s element at the time of its development to save enough time and use it in QA sessions when the product is finally ready.
We emphasize on the usability and memorability both to ensure thorough checking of the processes as well as the elements. Our team of QA analysts acts as a bridge to ensure that everything between the development team and clients is in sync as per the clients’ demands.

Reduced number of iterations: We break the process into sprints and discuss user stories' elements with the clients. We keep our clients in the loop, and this reduces the number of iterations by significant numbers. This approach also helps our team to understand what is to be done next and what changes are needed in the product they have already developed.

Out of the many methods, these are some of the ways that can quicken your mobile app development timeline. I hope that the above article is helpful in building confidence in you to take that step in creating your first mobile app. Let us know if you have any other strategies in mind for the same.
