Performing Due Diligence As Android Engineers

In this session I plan to share my learnings from the process of integrating Third Party SDKs. Having successfully delivered such projects at Tinder and Booking.com, I came up with a Due Diligence framework for Android developers that a lot of teams can benefit from, especially at Startups, Scale ups and Small companies that often ignore the hidden costs and pitfalls of integrating third party libraries and SDKs.

The attendees will walk away with a Framework that can be implemented at any company in time and can establish and improve an existing framework in these companies for evaluating and integrating with Third Party Libraries and SDKs.
