Coding Cycle

Step 1: Story

  • Story needs to be defined in milestone
  • First requirements done
  • Feature requests/bugs are created on code repositories

Step 2: Issues

  • Every FR/Bugs should have been assigned to a specific version/realease by the product owner.
  • Product owner might put original estimates on issues.
  • On accepting an issue, the developer should amend/set the estimate.
  • Estimates can always be updated according to findings. Comments must be made as to why.
  • Issue should be put in progress (by applying the appropriate label) once started.

Step 3: Branch

  • The branch version should have been created by the product owner.
  • create a local branch on which you are going to fix a bug or implement a feature.
    • this local branch should branch off from the version branch on the origin remote.
    • the local branch must be rebased often from the base version branch. It's the developer's responsibility to always make sure their branch doesn't steer away from the version branch.

Step 4: Code

Important : See coding style

  • Only produce code that is related to the bug or FR you're working on.
  • Don't mix two bug fixes or features in your local branch!
  • write the tests related to the code you create
  • write the documentation of the feature you implement

Step 5: Commit

  • Once your code is ready, the tests are written and the documentation is good enough, push your local branch to remote and create a pull request. Your pull request should ask to merge your branch to the version branch, never to master. (check branching strategy for more details)
  • Include the reference to the issue you're solving in your commit
    • E.g. "Implemented live migration cockpit: #10"

Step 6: Auto test perfome by CI

  • If the project you're working on has a CI enabled, make sure that all the test passes and that your branch doesn't have conflicts.
  • People won't even start reviewing your code if the tests don't pass or if your branch is out of date.

Step 7: code reviews

  • Your code will be reviewed by your peer.
  • disscusion can happen on the pull request to see how to solve best a problem or if someone has a better solution to the problem.
  • restart the cycle from step 3 to step 5 till everyone agree on the code produced.

Step 8: Validate

  • The code normally should be tested already by step 4 and 5
  • Now the issue is put on validate state
  • The story owner will finally accept the pull request
  • This will merge the pull request back into the version branch.
  • delete your branch.
