Fixed Cost Development 4 Weeks Prior to Deadline
- This project is a successful example of fixed cost software development that appeals to many clients even if it is used only for relieving them of financial risks. Yet there must be clear expectations and vision of the product to start a fixed cost project. NewMoove already had an iOS application and our task was to make a product with the same features set and general design for Android 4.0 and later versions.
- The back end API was provided by the Client, and we couldn’t have had a clearer example of what we had to do. Everything was so clear in this project that we were able to release the app after 10 weeks, which was 4 weeks earlier than estimated.
HLS Protocol for Mobile Media Streaming
- The app comprised a set of features that allow users to work out without leaving home. Users are able to find courses, form individual training programs, get video guidance and track their results.
- HLS streaming was used for this product because it is capable of breaking up MP4 video content into shorter, 10-second clips that can be delivered to users easily. This method of content delivery is compatible with many devices and many types of firewalls. As an added benefit, HLS compatibility is the most up to date method for streaming to tablets and other mobile devices.
