Lessons learnt from building the Covid app

The development of Test & Trace app was a huge challenge from the start. We invited Neil Moorcroft – Digital Solutions Director at Zuhlke – to reveal how the successful app was delivered. He will explain how a productive working partnership with Apple and Google was forged… how the platform was made secure enough to meet stringent NCSC and GCHQ rules…how the new app was certified as a medical device…and all in just over 6 weeks. 

Test & Trace is still being evolved but the stats tell their own story:

• 6 million downloads in the first 24 hours
• Over 20 million personal downloads to date making it…
• Second only to ‘Zoom’ in the app popularity ratings
