The goal of this project is to complete and test a code publishing application written in Python for RealTime7 Inc. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

- An existing Python script exists. Part of which is for the development environment and also for the client environment. Understand the code and the flow of control.

- Testing the application for bugs and errors.

- Optimizing the code for better performance.

- Improving the code to make it more fault tolerant and faster.

- Testing the application with users and making improvements based on feedback.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

- Understanding of the code and application.

- Ability to identify and fix bugs and errors.

- Optimization of the code for better performance.

- Identification of areas for future improvement of the application.

Final deliverables should include:

- All source code.

- A written report explaining the design process and outcomes.

Learners will be given the source code as a starting point. Thereafter daily there are team meetings, and also phone discussions to chart out the project steps and to review task progress.
