Google Play Store Android Forum for all Developers

Posted on May 24, 2013 by admin

Finally, an Android Forum is open for developers who can now interact with the people leaving comments for their apps. At one time, only a few chosen developers in the play store were allowed to respond to the user feedback left for their apps. Now however, Google has allowed all Android developers to reply to user feedbacks and comments on the Play store.

Once a user has commented, the user receives feedback in the form of an email, allowing the users to respond directly by email and then they can update the review on their apps accordingly. This was initiated when Google started linking Play Store comments and reviews to user’s Google+ accounts, which improved the quality of reviews by making the Android users accountable for their feedback.

7 Things You Should Know About Agile Development

Posted on May 6, 2013 by admin

Agile can be best described as an approach to software development and project management in comparison to the old methods of software development such as waterfall. Agile methodology is an iterative method in which the requirements are eloquently gathered from the users or external customers during the development process. Agile methodology does not accentuate the traditional way of planning. The solutions are rather continuously delivered, tested and developed. Hence, the solutions are delivered in iterations to the user. The goal behind this is to get a prompt feedback from the user rather than holding on to a predestined plan. This approach enables flexible modifications in a solution as opposed to the traditional method of planning in which changes to a solution are discouraged during the development of a project. Thus, an agile approach emphasizes teamwork and engages client’s contribution throughout the development process rather than just at the beginning.
