Utopian Hotel Collection is a platform enabling users to book their stays in luxury hotels grouped by the highest rankings of standards. Duration: April 2018 - August 2018 Client's country: United Kingdom Technologies used: Javascript, Angular, C#, .NET The client reached out to us after the previous dev company failed to deliver in terms of quality and deadline, which makes it a legacy project. In particular, the client complained about the slowly working website and constant crashes, as well as layout full of bugs. At a glance, it may not sound like a very unique situation, but in the addition, the client decided to set up his own development team and needed a company that will refactor the whole application, repair it, implement outstanding features, and prepare it for the upcoming team who were meant to kick off from September 2018. Therefore, our job was to not only finish what the previous team failed to deliver, but also to prepare the application and its code in a way that will make it easy for the new team to start working with it. We started with a thorough analysis of the current technological situation and code audit, which discovered a lot of inconsistencies and errors in the code and overall architecture, which were causing constant crashes and were also slowing down the site. Following the audit results, we had to refactor the major part of the application, implement the outstanding features, prepare everything for the new team, and conduct a step-by-step handover.
