Mobile Application Development Program

Helping agencies plan, develop, test and launch anytime, anywhere, any device mobile products and services for the public.

Plan—Build a mobile strategy, see what other agencies have done, use new acquisitions tools to find top mobile developers.
Develop—Create great mobile apps and sites using mobile user experience guidelines. Jump start development by leveraging pre-existing code.
Test—Make sure your app works on all devices by leveraging automated and in the wild testing support. Test for security & accessibility.
Launch—Let people know yours is an official government app by registering it. Get your app in the app stores and leverage API’s for promoting your apps.

Test
