How to begin with mobile application development? Mobile application development is new on the block and IT leaders cannot let others win by cultivating the same old tricks. Motivated by the expanding usage of smart phones and tablets accompanied with higher capacity mobile networks, companies now wants to use mobile tools to alter their core processesand businessmodels. But before beginning with or hiring mobile application developer it is necessary to have detailed requirements specification. It is the key to provide software matching your needs and ensuring application usability and security. The mobile developers will then be able to meet the challenges of the phase to provide solution to your businessobjectives. Let us understand this in below mentioned steps: •

Knowing about mobile functionality needs After winding up the initial preliminary mobile application development research, it is vital to locate and define the application’s functional and non-functional requirements. A high-quality requirement specification assure the competitiveness of the application by securing that the vital features of the application revert to actual and existing market requirements and user needs and demands. This is also phase to effectively know which application will not be able to perform. This about determining about the validity and feasibility of requirements and also about the functionalities will not be equipped in the application.

Below mentioned requirement specification should be included: 1. Know how of all the required functional and non-functional qualities of the application. You should be aware what does the mobile application do? 2. Application dependencies. 3. Input for all subsequent project phasesand marketing purposes.

Defining Scalable UI


While securing application scalability to variety of display resolutions and orientations may expect additional work in design, implementation, and testing; have clear advantages. An application constructed supporting scalability can be put in a wide range of current and future target devices, to make a large potential customer basefor the application. Scalable application development brings down the effort from the post-production phase because the reduced requirement of designing application variants for secondary target devices. If the same version of the software is not in sync with a secondary device then the post-production work will be easier and faster for an application that has been developed considering the scalability. •

Understanding the target mobile devices

You must know about the target mobile devices, so that mobile app developer must opt for accurate mobile application development. •

Security requirements One cannot define good application security requirements. However, explaining threats for an application make description of security requirements easy. The relevant threats should be taken as negative use cases and this must be ignored. They can be described in different scenarios and interactions and should be ignored in application designing.
