Initial Task
Description
The team on the Client’s side has developed a handy Video Protector mobile app that allows managing webcams from a distance and visualizes events going on in shops, offices, stations, etc. on mobile devices.
However, the app had multiple bugs that prevented it from working properly so the Client requested to detect and fix the code crashes of the Android version of the app. In particular, Touchlane team was to consult the Client and fix the existing issues with microphone and audio playback within a very tight deadline.

Challenges
Complex Customization
The Android app included a number of product flavors for different end customers so our engineers needed to ensure proper styles and themes for various Android devices.
Strict Deadlines
In the context of the limited time frames, Touchlane developers were to carefully study and support the existing legacy code that the app was based on in order to find the bugs to fix.
Complicated Testing
Because of the wide variety of video devices, it was impossible to test the app on every web camera model.
Workflow
Overall Result
All existing bugs in the Android version of Video Protector mobile app were indicated and successfully fixed within the shortest possible time, thus providing flawless operation of the app.
Moreover, Touchlane team offered the concept for the future update that would imply the implementation of the counting function able to detect the number of people entering and leaving the room.
