This unit takes pupils from designer to developer in order to create their own mobile app. Using App Lab from code.org, learners will familiarise themselves with the coding environment and have an opportunity to build on the programming concepts they used in previous units to undertake a project.

Mobile app development

What is the main purpose of testing an app?

What do we call the process of finding and fixing errors in code?

Why is feedback from users important when developing an app?

What should you do if your app does not meet the user requirements?

Put these steps in order for improving an app.

The app is complete as soon as it runs without errors.

There is no need to check the app against user requirements.

Testing, debugging, and making improvements are still needed after the app runs.

Which statement about finishing an app is correct?
