Outsourcing your mobile app development project
has a lot of advantages – access to a great technical
team without hiring hassles, short product life
cycles and lower development costs.
BUT HOW DO YOU SELECT THE BEST APP
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY?
Here are top 7 things you need to pay attention to
before selecting your vendor.
Introduction

Communication
The success or failure of your project will largely depend on how well
the app development company communicates. Infrequent
communication or failure to send out constant status updates have
resulted in disaster. A poor communicator is also likely to
misunderstand your requirements and not be able to complete it as
per your specifications.

Company Background
Obtain information about the company’s management, clients and
projects they’ve worked on. Also, check reviews about the company
on third party websites. Their portfolio and reviews will give you a fair
idea of their experience and their expertise. An ideal vendor would be
someone who is big enough to successfully develop and manage your
project but also humble enough to stay tuned to your needs and pay
prompt attention to it.

Expertise
People with no experience across the breadth of the mobile app
industry will try to persuade you to settle for an app that may fall
short of giving you the competitive edge you desire. It is important to
find a technology partner that is an expert at mobile app
development. Companies, for which mobile applications is just
another service offering, may not be a good fit. The idea is to partner
with a mobile app expert and not be stuck with someone with the
same limitations as yours.

The Team
Any company is as good as the people that work for it. It may be in
order to ask for resumes of key personnel – like lead developers,
technical architects, project and delivery managers. This will help you
figure out the technical health of the vendor because designing,
engineering, integrating the enterprise backend in a mobile app
requires superior technical knowledge.

Company’s Location
Keeping your project on track is essential when you want to take your
app to the market quickly. Coordinating schedules and maintaining
timelines is critical to the success of your project. This is why it is
beneficial if the app development partner has a US based team or a
project manager based in the US who can constantly communicate
with you.

Testing Services
Manual mobile app testing is usually time consuming. With
automated QA processes, you can save time and efficiently weed out
bugs and memory leaks. On-device testing and beta testing need to be
done to check performance, memory and usability issues. To avoid
compromising the user experience of your customers, it is best to
engage an app development company that has all the available
hardware and software needed to deliver bug free applications.

Estimates and Timelines
Every item in the proposal should be validated with proper reasoning.
The timeline should be broken down in terms of both time and
resources – the number of days it will take to complete the project
and the number of engineers, developers, architects and project
managers that will be allocated to you. This timeline will help you
figure out if the price quoted is realistic or exaggerated.

The simple answer would be – “find someone who is as passionate about
mobile apps as you are about your project.” But of course, it is not as simple.
With these 7 factors, it’ll be easier for you to review and shortlist a best app
development company for your project!
