The company is a startup who is building a new booking app for sports facilities in the US.

We think the project will take around 3 months of work full-time (more if part-time) to launch the first version of the product. It is likely that they will need someone long-term beyond that to maintain and extend the application.

- Increase test coverage by 70% by writing unit tests to an existing suite using Rspec

The client plans to use PivotalTracker for task management and Discord for daily communication. Github will be used for source control.
