Chappie Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I just finished a three day Agile Software Development training session. Good reinforcement of what I knew and cleaned up misconceptions. SCRUM, Sprints, Backlog, Product Owner, Planning Game, Retrospective, Iterative and Incremental. Appears to me ED uses a Waterfall Software Development Model and they may benefit from all or some aspects of Agile particularly the aspect of Unit Testing and Continuous Integration plus Feature Backlog.
CTR Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Interesting topic! I don't think they do Waterfall, cause they have some kind of continous delivery, we get new version in short cycles every 1-2 weeks. But they don't do Scrum either i think, otherwise we would get a constant flow of new releases and see progress newsletter after every sprint. It would would be nice to know how they organize their daily work and what development methods they use. I Pretty sure they have CI but what about TDD or UnitTests at all, i see lots of regressions from version to version. My experience is that Scrum can not solve all problems but more than any other process! Maybe they give it a try one day:"Doing twice the work in half the time!" :-) [sigpic][/sigpic] Flanker driver since 1996 DxDiag.txt
sobek Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Unit testing is not a particular "feature" of agile development. When talking agile, it often implies test driven development, but that doesn't mean that other software development paradigms don't use unit testing. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
