Once the wireframe is finished for your app and go for the real-time development of an application. It is the most crucial aspect and most of the designers and developers struck.

It will be done in two ways. One is front-end design and another one is back-end development

Front-end is the part that a user can see from an app. It is a combination of interfaces and component which a user can communicate. and Back-end deals with the functionality of an app and collects and store the data from front-end

If an application is released into the market and has a lot of bugs and errors. Users are not interested to use your application. The reason why most of the applications failed to sustain in the market is the lack of precise testing a mobile application
