Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If you’re planning to develop a mobile application for your business, you must have many questions about the
development process. We at mTraction Enterprise answer your queries and help you to have a better
understanding of mobile app development
I want to keep my mobile app idea
confidential. Do you sign an NDA ?
Yes, we can sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) for your IPR (Intellectual Property Rights)
protection. We can sign the NDA at the beginning before you discuss any project details, or at a later
stage - whichever suits you.
Who will own the mobile app source
code/Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of the apps developed by mTraction Enterprise ?
The client will own the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of the mobile app developed by mTraction
Enterprise. Once the application is developed, we will hand over the code to the client as per the
agreement. We do not reuse the source code we have developed for our clients.
Which SDLC process Affle mE follows while
developing a mobile application ?
We follow the Agile Methodology for mobile app development. Some of the key steps
of the development process are:
- Brainstorming & Consultation
- Scope of Work, Tech Stack & Architecture Discussion
- Timeline & Cost Estimation
- Project Kickoff & Resource Allocation
- Project Analysis & FRD Signoff
- Conceptualizing the UI & UX
- Application Development
- Quality Analysis & Testing
- Code Deployment on Production Server
Do you build MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for
feasibility study and market feedback ?
Yes, we build MVP (Minimum Viable Product), and we always suggest our clients have a market launch of MVP
before the extensive feature inclusions. It will help them to interact with early adopters and integrate
user feedback. Post getting the confidence in the app idea, we go for a full pace application launch.
What are the benefits of low-code app
development services offered by Affle mE ?
Affle mE provides low-code app development through its proprietary platform mTraction Reusable Component
(mRC). It enables rapid application deployment by minimizing hand-coding and accelerating delivery. Some
of the benefits are:
- Improved agility
- Increased productivity
- Rapid prototyping
- Reduced time-to-market
- Faster integration
- Cost-effective
Which low-code app development technologies
do you use ?
mTraction Enterprise uses the following low-code app technologies for building flexible low-code mobile
applications:
- Airtable
- KISSFLOW
- mTraction Reusable Components (mRC)
What can be a tentative timeline for
developing an MVP using low code app development ?
Usually, developing an MVP may take anywhere between 4 weeks to 6 months. However, low-code app
development uses mTraction Reusable Components (mRC). It’s our proprietary library of pre-built
components that have already been tested for bugs & performance issues, and hence the time-to-market of
the MVP is reduced significantly.
What is Machine Learning (ML) app
development ?
Machine Learning (ML) app development uses machine learning algorithms to build futuristic mobile apps so
that the applications can learn & handle the targeted use cases without manual intervention. Affle mE
uses ML technologies in mobile apps for:
- Personalisation
- Advanced search
- Relevant ads & retargeting
- Prediction of user behavior
- Enhanced app security, etc.
Do you have experience using Artificial
Intelligence (AI) & ML technologies in mobile app development ?
mTraction Enterprise has implemented the following AI-powered technologies for best-in-class mobile
application development, and the list is ongoing.
- Supervised Learning
- Unsupervised Learning
- Reinforcement Learning
- Speech Recognition
- Natural Speech Synthesis
- Image Recognition
- Text Recognition
- Biometrics
- Sentiment Analysis
How will you keep me updated on the
progress of my mobile app development project ?
Affle mE teams use Agile Methodology (Scrum or Kanban methodologies) for mobile application development.
If the project is greater than three months, accounts to our internal Kanban/Scrum interfaces can be
provided for external monitoring to show total transparency in the project lifecycle. Also, we assign a
dedicated Account Manager to your project who ensures all the details are communicated.
How long will it take to build my mobile
application ?
Depending on the complexity of the mobile app and the scope of work, the entire development process
(including the backend of the mobile app) can take anywhere between 3 and 9 months. Smaller projects can
be achieved in 3 months whereas long-term projects usually take 6 months or more.
What if I need any changes in the app or mobile solution ?
Change Requests will be managed as per the mutually agreed Change Management Process. The change requests
are first analyzed for impact with respect to the software design, code, project schedule, efforts, and
associated commercial terms before the changes are implemented.
Do you provide support post-development
of the mobile application ?
Yes, Affle mE provides application maintenance activities to support your product post-development. Our
server & application maintenance services are based on different Application Maintenance Models that
define Problem Resolution & Status Reporting Time, etc. We share the details of work done on a
weekly/monthly basis.
How much does it cost to develop a
mobile app from scratch ?
Mobile application development cost entirely depends on the functionality of the app. A very simple app
could be developed for under US$10,000 and a complex one might cost even more than US$1,000,000.
What are the different application
development models offered by Affle mE ?
Fixed Cost Projects - We analyze and then submit a fixed cost against the detailed
scope of the project. The total cost will be divided into multiple milestones, and deliverables will be
assigned against the same for you to map the mobile app development process.
Dedicated Resource Model - We provide dedicated onsite/offsite resources and the billing
occurs monthly at a mutually decided cost. If required, we’d be open to deploying our project managers
to oversee the development
Are you location-agnostic, or are your
services limited to certain locations ?
Affle mTraction Enterprise is a global technology company providing app development services worldwide. We have a local presence in 10+ countries out of which a significant team is available in Singapore (Headquarter), UAE, Indonesia, India (Gurgaon, Bangalore & Mumbai), Spain, North America, etc.
