Modernising TimeCamp while keeping product development moving

Project context

Our collaboration with TimeCamp has continued since 2024 and also covers its existing desktop application. People use it every day to track activity and record time, so modernisation goes alongside maintenance of a working product.

The work runs from understanding code dependencies through to subsequent changes and releases. New features and fixes go into the same application, and tests must cover workflows that users already rely on.

The challenge

Activity capture, synchronisation, projects and time entries are connected. A fix in one area can affect another, with consequences for both usability and the completeness of time records.

Modernisation therefore requires careful sequencing and checks of existing functionality. New features need to be assessed as part of the application’s behaviour during a normal working day.

Scope of work and solution

We review critical parts of the application and their dependencies. This informs phased modernisation of activity, project and time-entry features alongside ongoing product development.

We improve the release process and testing. Before each release, we check activity tracking, synchronisation and time handling to identify how changes affect features used every day.

Results for the client

TimeCamp continues developing the existing application without replacing the entire product at once. Tests of established workflows help the team assess whether the next version is ready for release.
