CodeCoach for First Code Academy E-learning platform

At the start the project team faced the following challenges: a strictly defined release deadline and some level of uncertainties about features for the first release. The business analyst took a deep dive into the project details, helped to form the system’s vision, defined requirements, prioritized features for the releases, and created the document outlining the scope of work. With the agile approach, the development team overcame difficulties with the project moving forward and adjusting to changes at the customer’s vision of some application features.

Thanks to close cooperation with the customer, some features were changed, some were added, and some pushed to the second development phase. To demonstrate the progress and gather the feedback, the team performed weekly demos. The challenge the team faced was to enable screen sharing in different browsers including those that are popular in the Hong Kong region, such as the QQ browser and 360 browser.

The thing is that each browser has different requirements to implement the screen sharing feature. For example, all chromium based systems require a special plugin developed and installed to allow sharing the screen within the browser. One more challenge that our team overcame was executing the code in a separate Docker container, which was supposed to be managed from the front end using web-sockets. This task was crucial to implement to ensure the stability and security of the application.
