Progress report: smartphone app for Timura Digital

Project overview
The purpose of this project is to produce a smartphone app for Timura Digital. The app should show the
company’s services and examples of successful projects they have completed. It should also make it easy
to contact the company.

Project status
The project has recently passed the beta testing phase, and we expect to make the release candidate
available before the end of the month. This is one week before the time that was scheduled at the
beginning of the project.

Recent developments
Beta testing was quite quick because most of the bugs were removed at the previous testing stage – we
found far more bugs at that stage. Only 37 bugs were found. Of these, 10 were very serious, 20 were
important and the rest were minor. This is better than usual for a project of this size. All have now been
dealt with. We expect to have no further problems.

Final stages
Due to good progress earlier, we hope to finish the project before the scheduled time. We expect to hand
the app over to the client early next month. At that time, the team will be available for further projects.
All members of the team have worked hard and I recommend them all for any future projects.
