The fact is that the application quality matters. High-quality applications lead to delighted consumers and additional sales. On the other hand, poor-quality applications may disappoint consumers so much that they’ll never chance another download. Developers should build quality into the application during each phase of the development process, just as they now do with usability. Similarly, developers need to view quality as a continuous process, not merely the last step.
However, practice has shown that the magic of quality is not as elusive as it seems. It can be achieved via a sequence of planned and efficient steps – from concept creation to final testing, marketing, and user feedback.
To help developers create quality applications, Forum Nokia has launched a new mini-site, called “Breakthrough with Quality,” that provides a “magic recipe” for high-quality development and links to related quality guides.
