Important Considerations in Designing for a Mobile Application


By Manoj Mirchandani

If you are planning on developing an app for enterprising operations, here is a word of advice, do not jump into it without proper considerations of essential issues. Calm down, take a deep breath and become accustomed to the different ways people have employed mobility, then start from there.

Of course, mobility is becoming a favorite thing, which is equally essential all over the world, but that does not mean people will download an app that comes out, even if the stories around it sound particularly appealing. People only download apps that will be of use to them on their phones. It includes enterprise apps. If your app becomes complex than it is worth, users will discard it.

As the whole world has begun to take apps more seriously than before, it is crucial for businesses to plan for apps with thoroughness and clarity. Slight ignorance can cause irreparable damage. For enterprises, such losses will undoubtedly cost them a lot. However, we will list out some critical considerations enterprises need to bear before they start to build a mobile enterprise app. The dependence on built-in security features of a platform or app development technology should be cut out, so the developers can find more reliable backups. App security is crucial, if not the most critical aspects of the enterprise business. Businesses, therefore, ought to always be on the matter and find out whether developers are giving it the attention it deserves. Don't ever think that because your app is an iOS app, it will run on the safest mobile platforms. It is because there have been incidents where the supposedly secure iOS too encountered cyber-attacks.

There is an excellent need to take additional measures bordering on security and also to make sure that your developers are not sitting back on it, but are top of the security situation.

Build a multi-level authentication

If you have cyber attackers after your app, using a password-based authentication will do very little to save it from these criminals. There is a great need for a multi-level authentication, as this provides foolproof security. It will be helpful and harder to hack into when not only the password holds the key. Multiple level authentication systems involve the provision of the code sent to users on their mobile numbers. Moreover, if the password gets leaked, the cybercriminals will still have to provide the pin sent to you. Only then will security be granted. At last, they will stop their hard work in unlocking your phone.

Preventing unsafe data transmission

All businesses regard their data as being as valuable as their capital. Hence, they go to great lengths just to provide it with the highest levels of security. Most often, this data is the future of these companies. In apps, although encryption assures protection, 33% of the IT companies, unfortunately, fail to make use of encryption methods to provide the much-needed security for their apps. It is essential that you take the safety of the app very seriously. Apart from this, your development team should implement the best security method so that unsafe data transmission will be a thing of the past.

Limit data caching vulnerabilities

It is easy for hackers to access cache data. Therefore, to avoid annoying security breaches which can be caused by cache data, you should instruct your developers to reduce the caching and prevent other related vulnerabilities caused by this. One particularly important solution is to add password access to the app. Another solution involves programming the app in such a way that it erases all cached data on rebooting the application.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
