Is There a Process to Build an Application?
Generally, it is a good idea to break down the steps you need and then test each one before moving to the next. However, the particular process to follow will depend on the company and their techniques, such as agile methodologies, and the specific application you are building.
An Example of a Process Some May Follow:
Initial plan:
Idea → Prototype → Final Application
After gaining some experience, the building process may look more like this:
Refined process:
Develop initial idea → Test prototype → Discussion/Review feedback → 2nd test (beta) → 2nd discussion/review → Final test for errors (fingers crossed) → Deploy final application
Of course, the steps here are not a definitive guide, and more steps may be added in-between. As always, you will navigate errors with Google and Stack Overflow as your trusty helpers.
