There are millions of mobile applications available for download at present and this figure is only going to climb higher. Just as business and consumer needs continue to expand, so do the capabilities and advantages mobile devices provide their users.

The purpose of this policy from TechRepublic Premium is to provide guidelines for developing mobile applications from a security, procedural and best practices standpoint. While it contains technical guidelines, it is not intended to serve as a programming guide but as a framework for operations.

From the policy:

These guidelines should be implemented to foster the best possible build process for mobile apps:

Identify potential users of the app (also known as the audience) and involve them in the design/testing process to build upon feedback and ensure desirable/useful elements are incorporated in the app. Focus on making the app inherently easy to use/control based on audience needs and responses.

The download comprises a nine-page PDF and Word document.
