Phase 2: Frontend & Backend Development

Once the Research & Development stage has been approved, we move right into the Backend & Frontend Development. The process starts with the designers, project management team, and development team connecting to review every flow, outcome, and functionality to ensure we have adequately mapped out the entire process.

When accomplished, we’ll start outlining the Timeline/Module Plan, which allows our clients to track our work and the speed at which we should be working. After this, we’ll move right into the database schema, a vital component for pure scalability. Each flow will be meticulously curated to ensure scalability, which is very important.

Our backend team’s next step will be to create the custom APIs for each feature inside the app. Custom APIs are essential for every software to ensure your system can connect with most software on the market. The APIs that we build will allow your system to pass and receive data to any software with an Open API.

Once the APIs are complete, the backend team will give thorough API documentation to our frontend team to implement the APIs. We are responsible for mapping the functional APIs to the pages and buttons.

The frontend team will work with our backend team to ensure the APIs are correctly connected and the API documentation is well understood so we can deliver you a fully functional build.

Phase 3: Quality Assurance

​​The testing process at Alpha Bravo starts with a Quality Assurance manager doing manual testing of each side of the app to address any issues and bugs. The QA Manager will complete a detailed audit and hand the report to the development team. The development and QA teams will work together to address any issues outlined in the report.

Once everything has been tested thoroughly, we will set up a Cloud-Based Live Server for production testing. This will allow testing in a real environment with non-dummy data that can populate the system. The client will have time to review the software deeply and determine if any issues or changes need to be made.

Finally, our team will get authorization to move everything live and into a Production Environment for approval.

Phase 4: Frontend & Backend Development

​​Once approval is received, our development team will migrate from a development server to the configured custom live server. This is where our team will complete final live testing before pushing the app live.

Apple and Google must thoroughly review and approve mobile applications before being listed in their stores. Our development team will work closely with our clients to ensure everything needed for the Apple/Google listed is provided and set up correctly. For the app’s first listing, Google will typically take 3 days to review, while Apple will take up to 5 days.

Once approved, all iOS and Android users can utilize the Apple/Google Play store to find and download the app. Approval is not required for web applications, so the app listing process is much quicker and more straightforward.
