Let me introduce LazyCure Development Stategy – the common principals used by LazyCure developers (at the moment only by me :)).
One development cycle consists from 5 steps:
- Bug. Assign a bug to yourself before introducing any code changes.
- Red. Write a failing automated unit test before you write any code, which reproduces the bug. If unit test could not be created, add test case to LazyCureTest\LazyCure_TestCases.xls.
- Green. Write code in order to make unit test or test case passed.
- Refactor. Remove code duplication, verifying that all unit tests still passed. You can repeat 2-4 steps by introducing additional tests, related to the bug.
- Commit. Commit the code changes, specifying bug id and summary and any other details of maiden changes.
The following criteria is taken into the account when bug to fix is chosen:
- Priority.
- Severity.
- Creation time.
New LazyCure build could be created if there is at least one bug fixed and there are no bugs with priority 9 – Highest.
New minor LazyCure release could be created if at least one new feature is implemented and there are no bugs with priority 7 – High or higher.
New major LazyCure release could be created if at least one major feature is implemented and there are no bugs with priority 5 – High or higher.
The latest version of LazyCure Development Strategy could be found on http://lazycure.wiki.sourceforge.net/Development+Strategy page.
