The app will be tested internally at inLogic before release. The test requires access to a user with relevant data. You can either create a fictional student who is associated to a real course, or alternatively use a real student's account, if the person agrees that the account is being used for a system test of the school's APP. The school also gets the chance to test the APP using Apple's Test Flight and Google Beta Test. The following should be tested as a minimum Able to login Show news (if these are desired and set up) Show timetable Show homework Show user information

WHAT TO HAVE READY

The UMS site needs to use HTTPS. Materials that can be used for designing the app. For example: Logo, brochure, design guide line, etc. Emails for some testers. Preferably one or more for both platforms (Android and iPhone). News can be setup so data is retrieved via an RSS feed or by using the 'App News' on the UMS Web. There can also be downloaded news from the school's facebook page. All this can be set per template level, so as to create news for individual teams. Optional: It is possible for the school to have its own account where the app is located. An account in the App Store cost $99 per year, while an account for Google Play costs a onetime fee of $25. The school self-manage these accounts.
