The approach is similar to the Joel-Test where we ask companies a set of questions to evaluate their development maturity & craftsmanship:
- how they write tests
- do they use static analysis & CI/CD
- if they have dedicated testers, etc.
- gregjor 5y agoThe answers to such questions may indicate something, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they ”evaluate” development maturity and craftsmanship objectively. The questions you listed are more specific than the original Joel Test from 22 years ago. TDD and CI/CD are neither universal practices nor demonstrable best practices in every case, whereas the more general “Do you use source control?” says something about the development practices.
