Approaches and solutions

Creation of the custom build-system. At the moment of creation of application there were no standard solutions which could provide correct operation of application at different devices. That is why our team developed a custom build-system which allows to create automatically APK-files for devices with different screen resolution.
Application testing. Functionality of application has been covered by Apium-autotests. Also, during the development process, a high level of code coverage with unit tests was provided.
