For my capstone, we had one main project of developing a mobile application. However, within this one project, we had different mini projects which were put together at the end to become one mobile application. One project was developing the three training games on the user interface side. Another project was establishing a communication between the phone and remote database. This would allow the game platform to send user’s data and call sounds from the remote database. The other project was developing the internal database. The last project was generating sound for different difficulties. At the end, my team integrated to allow the “mini” projects to create one mobile application platform. However, it was not a flawless integration. I was in charge of the establishing the communication between the phone and remote database. I had to conduct a mini test to check if I was able to call data from the remote database from the unity platform I integrated my code into the GUI programmer’s project. If I did not do these tests and a problem arose during the integration, there could have been many possible reasons why the problem arose. Thus, we managed this by ensuring if each individual component worked well on its own, then something was wrong with the integration itself.

Share an experience from work or school where you experienced integrating the project you worked with another project. How did you handle if the integration of two components did not work out?
