Product Overview
Client’s goals
The Customer aimed at developing a solution to supply users with a social networking application and enable them to share their worldview with like-minded people. The main goal was to provide each user with an opportunity to interact with topical surveys as a creator or a respondent. One of the most important requirements was to embody an utterly secure tool where people can interact safely and politely.
Implementation
The development team on the project consisted of iOS, Android, Backend, Front-End developers, QA engineer, and UI&UX designer working together with Project Manager. A detailed project plan was created with a thorough risk analysis to minimize their possible impact.
The development of the project was broken into several phases. The first phase started with the examination of the infrastructure field, and existing business processes, requirements for the future analytics, and reporting tool. Based on this scope of work, our consultants designed a high-level architecture with technology stack options. Our team conducted a deep analysis to justify the technology selection for each architecture component.
The second phase was launched with Jelvix engineers focused on enhancing the user experience of the social networking application that combines robust social networking with a flexible and powerful social survey platform.
The final phase was dedicated to QA automation, beta testing, and making adjustments to the app based on the results. It was designed for 3-6 months to ensure the promptitude towards releasing the official production version.
