We had already a running Hudson build server. The jobs running on it where mainly build, deploy and test scrips “written” in ant. The compiled binaries and some installation scripts where moved (using SCP) to a server VMWare image (the Continue reading QFTest Scripting, VMWare and Hudson
One of my friends is working on projects in a huge company with a huge amount of people since years now. He told me that he sometimes wondered why developments remained slow, even though the project put more developers into Continue reading Negative Manpower (nMP)
This is a follow up to Surrounding SCRUM. We build some kind of a software development kit. So is was important to provide helpful documentation and usage notes to other teams. Unfortunately we learned that this needs significant effort and Continue reading Surrounding SCRUM Part 2
