  • When developing a mobile app, it is important to consider both functional and non-functional requirements. Here are some examples of functional and non-functional requirements to consider:
  • Functional Requirements:
    • User Interface: The app should have a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate and understand.
    • Data Management: The app should be able to manage and store data securely and efficiently.
    • Performance: The app should perform well and respond quickly to user input, without delays or lag.
    • Functionality: The app should perform the functions that it was designed for, such as processing transactions, displaying information, or providing entertainment.
    • User Input: The app should allow users to input information easily and accurately, using features such as voice recognition, gesture control, or virtual keyboards.
  • Non-Functional Requirements:
    • Security: The app should be secure, with strong encryption and protection against hacking or data breaches.
    • Compatibility: The app should be compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems, to ensure maximum reach and usability.
    • Accessibility: The app should be designed with accessibility in mind, to ensure that users with disabilities or impairments can use the app easily.
    • Performance: The app should be designed to operate efficiently and not consume excessive device resources, such as battery power or memory.
    • Usability: The app should be easy to use and understand, with clear instructions, feedback, and error messages.
  • Overall, it is important to consider both functional and non-functional requirements when developing a mobile app, to ensure that the app provides the best possible user experience, while also meeting important criteria such as security, compatibility, and accessibility.

  • A mobile app is a computer program designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone/tablet or watch.

    Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications that run on desktop computers, and with web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.

    The term "app" is a shortening of the term "software application". It has become very popular, and in 2010 was listed as “Word of the Year” by the American Dialect Society. In 2009, technology columnist David Pogue said that newer smartphones could be nicknamed "app phones" to distinguish them from earlier less-sophisticated smartphones.
