🧪 Testing Instructions

Manual Testing Flow

1. Login: Use provided credentials, test validation
2. User List: Verify API data, test offline mode
3. Video Call: Test on 2 devices simultaneously
4. Screen Share: Share screen during active call
5. Notifications: Test call notifications Mock
6. App Lifecycle: Test backgrounding, orientation changes

Video Call Testing

• generate temp token and paste token and channel name in app_route. dart in Video call screen parameter
• Install on Device 1 & Device 2
• Login on both devices
• Start video call on both
• Test all controls (mute, video, screen share)
• Verify audio/video quality

Implemented Optimizations

• Video Quality: Adaptive bitrate based on network
• Memory Management: Efficient camera resource handling
• Caching Strategy: Smart offline data management
• Battery Optimization: Background mode handling
• Network Efficiency: Minimal API calls, cached responses

Production Considerations

• Scalability: Ready for user base growth
• Security: No hardcoded secrets, secure API calls
• Analytics: Ready for crash reporting integration
• Monitoring: Error tracking and performance metrics ready

🔧 Configuration Notes

Agora SDK Configuration

// App ID already configured in constants const String kAgoraAppId = 'your-app-id-here';

API Endpoints

// ReqRes API for authentication & users const String kBaseUrl = 'https://reqres.in/api'; const String kLoginEndpoint = '/login'; const String kUsersEndpoint = '/users';

Build Variants

• Debug: Development with logging
• Profile: Performance testing
• Release: Production optimized

🚨 Important Notes

Testing Requirements

• Physical Devices: Required for camera/microphone testing
• Network Access: Required for API calls and video streaming
• Multiple Devices: 2+ devices needed for video call testing
• Platform Testing: Test on both Android and iOS if possible

Known Limitations

• Meeting ID: Hardcoded for assessment purposes
• Authentication: Uses ReqRes fake API (not production auth)
• Token Management: Temporary tokens (would use server-side in production)
• User Calling: No user-to-user calling system (would require user management)

Production Migration Path

For production deployment:

1. Implement server-side token generation
2. Add real authentication system
3. Implement user-to-user calling
4. Add call history and management
5. Integrate analytics and crash reporting
6. Add comprehensive testing suite
