Webdev:Meetings:2008-08-21

• Dev cycle changes (carry over from AMO discussion)
  • Why are we feeling rushed or behind at code freeze?
  • How should we change the cycle?
  • morgamic's idea: 10 days dev time, 3 days QA time, push, 2 days planning/down time during/after push, repeat
  • Ideas
    • Push on a Tuesday instead - so code freeze thursday and push Tuesday instead
    • Bugs in there can be very vague, so we should spend more time making things more specific or planning larger bugs into smaller pieces
• Testing
  • Need to start writing tests
  • Not going to make eveyrone go back and write tests retro-actively
  • However, we should focus more on writing simple tests (installation tests, syntax error checks, acceptance tests) for most of what we do
  • Thoughts on how to "enforce" test writing?
• Jacob!
  • Test cluster update
  • SSO update and discussion
