migrating product and team from startup race to quality development
- by thevikas
This is year 3 and product is selling good enough. Now we need to enforce good software development practices. The goal is to monitor incoming bug reports and reduce them, allow never ending features and get ready for scaling 10x.
The phrases "test-driven-development" and "continuous-integration" are not even understood by the team cause they were all in the first 2 year product race. Tech team size is 5.
The question is
how to sell/convince team and management about TDD/unit testing/coding standards/documentation - with economics.
train the team to do more than just feature coding and start writing test units along - which looks like more work, means needs more time!
how to plan for creating units for all backlog production code
