State of the Guild #19

GuildChat development schedule updates and TronTrade events

Welcome to the latest State of the Guild — the weekly compendium of news and updates straight from the BitGuild world. This week we fill you in on the development status for GuildChat’s new version, and catch you up on all the events and activities going on over at TronTrade. Now dig in!

GuildChat

For the past two weeks, the QA and Marketing teams, as well as the GuildKeepers, have been testing the beta version of GuildChat and providing their feedback to the development team. The main issues encountered included the loading time for messages plus other technical and structural bugs. To tackle these issues and provide a fully functional app with a great user experience, the development team has requested an additional two weeks of development (using Native App Development), which means our public beta release schedule will be pushed back by about three weeks.

On the QA side, a total of 385 issues were reported last week, and combined with the previous sprint, our development team has fixed 424 issues. Additionally, the first round of pressure testing of interfaces (claiming coin drops, login, account, transfer list, friends) was successfully completed by our QA team.

Next week we’ll start Sprint 8, during which engineers will be working on performance optimization, architecture refactoring, fixing bugs, and UI optimization. The UI team is designing the UI and animation of the welcome page.

An updated beta version will be provided today (August 30). The current schedule for development is as follows:

• The second round of UAT (User Acceptance Testing) will last from August 30 until September 9.
• All the feedback will be collected, prioritized, and assigned to engineers before September 3rd.
• Fixing bugs and performance optimizations will last about 10 days, and the Final Round Testing will start after that, lasting approximately 10 days.
• We plan to submit to the App Store around September 22.

The schedule is subject to change depending on the assessment of the product team and the amount of improvements identified.
