The Problem

The main concern of WCM was adopting leading-edge tech in service of the songs and their creators.

Timeline

We worked with agile methodologies. Through Scrum ceremonies, we were able to have fast product development, testing, and release. In two months we achieved the goal and deployed the MVP.

Tech Stack - Music to my Ears

There were two teams working simultaneously:

Team A
Was responsible for the iOS app, programming in Swift using Xcode.

Team B
Was responsible for the Android app, programming in Java using Android Studio.

Interesting Features Implemented by Us - Blowing our Own Trumpet

•The main screen was presented as an ascending graph of the user’s income, with sliding control which graphs by annual quarters.

•The graphics were not based on any known graphics but on the intuition and curiosity of the user.

•The app was composed of sliding cards with each information area divided as appropriate.

•Each section could be transitioned to another easily and dynamically.

Quality Assurance - Music Makes the World Go Round

Once the design was implemented into Swift and Java, the QA team tested it within iOS and Android environments. For iOS we used TestFlight and for Android, we used tools like Diawi or Ninjadeploy to distribute the staging Android app.
