The development approach for a video-streaming app like iQIYI adopts the Agile methodology, which acknowledges the requirement for flexibility and simplicity to deliver the final product. Agile methodology promotes a culture shift in companies that emphasizes the systematic distribution of individual software components over the full program at once.
The key phases of the development process are requirement gathering, design, development, testing, and deployment.
- Requirement gathering helps to understand client needs and user expectations.
- Design conceptualizes the app's architectures and user interface.
- Development implements backend infrastructure, frontend functionality, and user experience.
- Testing ensures consistent operation across devices and platforms.
- Deployment brings the app to market for people to use and enjoy.
Third-party service integration consists of payment gateways for seamless transactions and also analytics tools to gain insights into user behavior and preferences. Technologically, the app requires a strong backend built with frameworks like Node.js or Python, scalable hosting services like Amazon EC2, and a responsive front end developed in Swift, Kotlin, or Java for mobile platforms.
