Lovendo.com

This South Florida Real Estate Marketplace needed a Project Rescue and transitioned into a long-term development partnership.

Lovendo.com was actually published as Beta before its relationship with Teravision. After a challenging refactoring of the code provided by a previous software partner, the site was quickly live and selling properties.

To get a working MVP, our team started to work halfway through 2018 with LoVendo’s software on auditing the existing codebase. In parallel, a deep QA analysis was applied in order to propose a code refactoring path.

Precise results on the audit led to a well-defined software development relationship. Results speak for themselves, and by the end of the year, we had published the Beta version successfully and were already working together on expanding the Web Marketplace.

Technologies used: Angular Js, CSS3, HTML5, MongoDB, MySQL, PHP, WordPress

Engagement Model:

Software Audit, Fixed Scope Software Development, and Managed Team

The Team:

After analyzing the findings of the audit process, the task was identified as a turnkey Project Rescue to make all available assets run again according to final recommendations. The scope included fixing and developing the code as needed to come up with a marketable product.

Internal team knowledge was Truly valuable

Our Architects and Tech leads made the application in the codebase run the best possible way. This step was necessary to start a comprehensive Audit Process.

The Audit process has two sides: QA and Software Development. While the Development team worked in the code review, QA analysts worked on manual tests. The final result of the Audit can be summed up in three reports:

Performance Bugs Report
Code Review
QA Tests Report

Existing assets were diligently provided by Lovendo’s software team quickly and efficiently.

Highlights in Project Rescue

Codebase assets were organized in a standard Teravision’s project. All code was associated with user stories using Scrumwise (whether or not those stories were available). This organization improved planning, visibility, and communication between teams to focus on QA and software development increments to be delivered in 2-week sprints.
Fast ramp-up for non-stop deliveries. We were able to quickly assign extra resources when members of Lovendo’s technical team were temporarily unavailable due to vacation or other reasons.
A positive change in the delivery model. As a result of the successful rescue operational synergy, Lovendo and Teravision transitioned into a long term partnership. By now we are going together from the Fixed Scope approach to a Managed Team delivery model to make the new features of the Marketplace.

Project Rescue provides great results when well executed, so audit first.
