iRepeat or Papyrus is an online shopping app for both Android and iOS that helps local stores to connect with potential customer for effective marketing. Here the users can follow, browse through stores, products, get sales notification, get coupons and even chat with the stores before shopping.
This app provides real time information about the current market and keeps you updated with all the sufficient data needed for a satisfactory and happy shopping.
Objective
iRepeat wants to help shop owners connect with its customers and engage in business better and faster. They provide handy information to the customers. Instead of using paper based point cards, this app creates electronic point cards.
Challenges
The one and only challenge we face on developing this app was the chat functionality. In this, our team completed almost all the functionalities but our client  wants to see the badge on the chat user list for any newly added messages.
We implemented chat functionality with firebase itself so its not so hard to get completed. We are well known about firebase database. We gone through the firebase docs and we resolved the issues and completed the App.
Strategy
The main focus of Redbytes is always the user experience and their engagement in the app. Leverage cloud technology and security of data is another strategy of Redbytes. Initiation of a fool proof marketing strategy as well as focus on the app’s performance makes Redbytes the best.
What we did?
According to the client requirement, we developed a user friendly app which is available on both iOS and Android devices.
Users register through social media and emails. They are also able to create their own customized cards for shopping.
We also developed a QR code/for the users to scan their purchase in the iMarket.

Selenuim is the tool used for testing this app. The methodologies used for manual testing are
Black Box Testing is a software testing method in which testers evaluate the functionality of the software under test without looking at the internal code structure.
White Box Testing is based on applications internal code structure. In white-box testing, an internal perspective of the system, as well as programming skills, is used to design test cases.
Grey box is the combination of both White Box and Black Box Testing. The tester who works on this type of testing needs to have access to design documents.
