Audit your own Mobile App!

Mobile application development is quite a complex process. As a developer, I understand how important it is making sure to follow the process to build a good quality app.

The development of any quality app needs time and effort with the right process. We need to understand it’s very important to follow all processes for development and best practice to achieve good standards.

Let’s dive into how we can make sure our apps build the right way and can compete with new trends.

App Architecture:

App architecture is very important, without correct architecture it will be quite difficult to plan for the long term. Here what you need to ask to make sure app architecture up to the mark.

• Written architecture document verified by proper authority
• You need to ask for the framework document and why the developer selects that framework for your app.

Data Layer:

As the Data Protection layer becomes more and more important, we need to protect user data. You need to make sure all of your user data is protected. Here what you need to do.

• Get written documents for the data flow diagram and ask for the specifications about user personal data. If you are using a framework then check for user data protection modules.
• Ask for a technical document for offline data and understand how data sharing is happening in your application.

Code Analysis:

The quality of your application depends on how developers write code and test it. If your codebase is not good documentation or structure then it’s quite unstable. You need to make big changes in the codebase to make sure it’s working as per expectation. Here how you can make sure your app code is good.

• Ask your developer about what coding standard document they are following. Your complete codebase must follow the same coding standards or it will be difficult to add updates.
• A unit test is very important for each function. Ask for unit test document which is been planned in the initial planning meeting.

Finally CI/CD:

CI/CD will help your app to be published without hassle. Having CI/CD automation you can assure fast delivery and good process to back your product.

There are more points to make sure your app is built in the right way. However, keep your app scope in mind to deliver a good app. If you need more information about app audits then feel free to reach me out. We would love to help you with your audit needs.
