Project Summary

bright inventions developed native iOS and Android apps and a web-based admin console for an IoT tracking platform (Luna XIO/Luna Locate). The engagement included manual and automated QA and test automation; the client was pleased with demos and a consistent release train but noted weaknesses in program/project management and time-zone coordination.

Key Challenges

Develop native iOS and Android apps to support BLE-to-cloud communications
Build a web console to manage IoT devices, users, workspaces, and locations
Coordinate development and QA across time zones with limited program management

Project Deliverables

Develop iOS and Android native mobile apps
Develop web-based admin console for user and device management
Develop end-to-end UAT and system test automation
Provide manual and automated QA/QE testing support

The vendor built native iOS and Android mobile applications that use Bluetooth foreground and background operation to receive and transmit BLE beacons and support device and asset tracking use cases. They delivered a web-based admin console for user, device, workspace and location management. The team also implemented end-to-end UAT and system test automation and provided manual and automated QE testing support for the Luna Locate IoT platform.

Project Outcome

Mobile app and web feature demos delivered and a consistent release train established
Client pleased with technical individual contributors though program management and deliverable tracking needed improvement

Quality of Deliverables

“The client is pleased with the results of bright inventions' work. The team has demoed the app and web features and has adhered to the release schedule. However, bright inventions' project management could be improved, as the client has to manage the team's expectations around timelines and scope.”
