UltimateQualityDevelopmentSystem - Divmod - Trac

Divmod has been developing software for several years, and over the course of that time, we have developed a methodology, which involves a ticket discipline and a suggested use for a version control system. It is extremely lightweight and "agile", and can be combined as a component of any other methodology which breaks down work into individual tasks.

The briefest summary of the requirements for UQDS is that every task has 3 absolutely required steps.

• A task is created in an issue tracker and assigned to a worker.
• The worker does work, and creates a change-set to be applied to the mainline revision control system. (This can be represented as either a branch or a patch file.)
• A reviewer reviews the completed work, and provides feedback: at least one good thing about the work, at least one area that needs improvement, and a judgement as to whether the good qualities ultimately outweigh the bad, i.e. whether the branch should be merged.
