Introduction:

Over the years, S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. has created a strong footing in application development. Developing applications for clients with many unique and innovative ideas. Although it may seem like a very simple task to simply create an application with all the requirements in it, the task requires cumbersome planning and hours of preparation to ensure that the final product not only fits the client’s requirements but is also perfected enough to compete against similar applications in the marketplace. 

S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. has perfected the art of developing such products for the clients. Certain steps are followed to ensure that there are no glitches in the work and the process is followed properly. Some of these mandatory points are as seen below:

Detailed Account:

S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. sets achievable goals and establishes clear communication with the clients about them. It can be quite infuriating, and highly unproductive, to recognize that one of your client’s key functionalities aren’t supported and you’ve invested so much time and resource in the development and design of the rest of the application.

These issues are well catered to by keeping communication open and clear with the client from day one and being clear on the deliverables. Having a detailed discussion and then having these requirements jotted down allows the company to have a clear path on which to path. This also serves as a checklist against which the application can be tested out to ensure that no work is missed out. This allows the client to be satisfied as they receive exactly what they had expected and more. 

Responsiveness:

A common misconception that a lot of new developers and new clients have is to assume that a web-based application designed and developed for a desktop browser will work in the exact same manner in a mobile browser. This is far from reality. S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. understands that a product delivered to the client must be completely free of such concerns. S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. makes sure that they make all applications responsive according to the devices of choice of the client. This process helps to ensure that the user interface on all the required devices is the same and there is no problem faced by the user.

Optimizing The Application:

As a developer, the last thing you want is for your users to complain about your application being too slow. This is why it is essential to carefully think about how to reduce and optimize each byte and server transfer to reduce the user’s wait time. According to Google, for every extra five seconds that it takes in load time, the traffic on the application drops by 20%.

 It is also important to realize that search engines take note of load times as part of their calculation of the score of page quality.

When optimizing an application, the first thing the team members keep in mind are the images.  Image load time is one of the biggest performance concerns that affect the loading speed of a page in mobile devices. S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. ensures that they use images that are optimized to ensure that the client has an application that loads without delays! Another major concern is code compression. To cater to this issue, the team compresses their JavaScript and CSS files to create a significant impact on the performance of the application. Optimizing the application makes it more comfortable to navigate for the users and stops users from getting frustrated while using the client’s application.

App Features:

When creating applications for the client, it is important to ensure that all the functionalities that the client wants in the application are present. S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. understands that in the long run, if the application is unable to perform in the manner in which the client wants, no design or optimization is of any use.

As the team already takes a detailed account from the client about what they wish to achieve from the application and what features they wish to incorporate, the process of creating these applications is quite smooth. It helps the company to deliver an impeccable product and that too in a well-structured and organized manner. 

Before developing the product, the team at S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. confirms with the client about the functionalities of the application. In this manner, both parties are clear over the requirements and there is no room left for confusion over what is needed and what needs to be avoided. Once all the features are mapped out, the team starts to work on integrating these features into the client’s application.

The team of developers keeps in mind that at the end of the day, the functions of the application are the essential features of the application and without the applications running smoothly, the application would fail no matter how much effort is placed in the project. 

The team stays in touch with the latest tools and technologies. This allows the team members to also recommend best practises to the client who might benefit from these suggestions. These recommendations, at times, bring the cost of the project down and make it easier for the client to get their work done. 

User Experience:

It is important that each application that is created for the client is the most user friendly and the user has the best experience in navigating the application. With so many applications out there, it is essential that when a user comes to your application they are not faced with any sort of confusion or discomfort. The user should not have to find their way around the app rather the app should guide the user across its User Interface. 

To cater to these issues, S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. gets the design of the application fully approved before it is delivered to the team of developers. The design road map is initially tested by the team to check whether it makes sense and all the elements placed in the design play their part. This involves ensuring that all the buttons being placed in the design are linked to some functionality and serve an exact purpose.

Once this first round of testing is completed, new team members check the design to see whether the application is easy to navigate or not. It is tested that the application is easy to use for a person who has little to no understanding of the product. It is important to test this out as it allows the team to get a better understanding about the application and what the product has to offer. 

User Interface:

In today’s world of technology, there are so many applications out there that are trying to make their mark in the industry. With a sea of applications out there, the user is being attracted towards all the different directions. It is not easy to step into an already developed market and make your space. It takes a lot of time and effort and thinking at the back end of things. It is important to understand the sort of work that the client does and the sort of design that would complement the work.

As far as design styles are concerned, although S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. likes to work with negative spaces and impactful clean designs, this is not always the case. Depending on the client, sometimes the company always opts for different design styles as well. These styles can range from art deco to psychedelic. 

The point of creating a design is not to create something that is up to date or in sync with the latest fashion. The point of creating a design is to speak to the audience of the client. To be on the same level as the client’s application users and make a design that speaks to them. The designs that are presented by the team of S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. are unique and customized which allows them to stand out in the marketplace and be a true representation of the client’s brand. 

Originality:

S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. takes great pride in the fact that every single product that they create for their clients is completely original. All the work being done by the company is custom work and there is no theme or code that is being copied from other sources. 

Although a lot of companies do partake in such practises, S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. believes that originality is one of their biggest assets and that providing authentic work is what sets the company apart from all their competitors. The company makes everything from scratch and the development is done in such a way that it speaks to the client’s users and conveys the clients vision and brand identity. 

There are plenty of companies that are creating theme based designs and working on borrowed codes. However, this is not how the company wishes to operate. The company wishes to make completely unique and customized products and deliver products that are a testament to the creativity of the company.

Debugging And Testing:

Debugging applications can be both tricky and frustrating. This is especially true if you need to test the application on multiple devices and look for multiple devices to work on. In some cases, the team also makes use of standard browser-based developer tools to debug your application. This is a more efficient and quick method to debug however, it can only be used for mobile web development.

The team at S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd. conducts seven rounds of testing on each of the products. From testing the layout, all the way to testing the cross browsing compatibility of a web app, the company leaves no stone unturned when it comes to checking the work and making sure that it is as flawless as possible.

The multiple rounds of testing are done by our team of SQAs who ensure that the project is completely bug free and works in an impeccably smooth manner. It is important for the company to be able to provide the clients with the best possible product that they can imagine. This finesse in the products being delivered is one of the things that the company takes great pride in. 

Summary:

With the continued rapid expansion of the variety, the sophistication of mobile devices on the market and in use today, the requirement for effective, user-friendly, high performance mobile applications is likely to increase substantially. This is what is of utmost importance to the company as they wish to make products that not only leave the clients satisfied with the work that they have received but also leave an impression in the marketplace and amongst its competitors. Being able to develop these applications intelligently and efficiently will therefore continue to be of paramount importance to S.T.A.R.S (Pvt.) Ltd.
