Ingredients
Recipe
1 - Take a bit of Kanaban, Scrum retrospectives, XP practices and mix well.
2 - Setup your board. ( You will need an electronic board, so choose between JIRA agile , Versionone , Leankit , etc. Remember, it's not about how big it is, but how you use it ).
3 - Setup Jenkins. You will need to build the following pipelines :
The following to run after every commit.
Sonar job : If the above passed, then it's time to check the quality of the code committed. You can use sonar and the sonar plugin for Jenkins.
The following to run every night, each depends on the success of the previous.
Continuous build job : yes again, no point in running the following if this fails.
Release job : this creates a production release (maven release or whatever is your company policy about releases) out of your trunk(svn)/master(git) branch.
Deploy to dev job : This job automatically deploys to dev environments.
Dev System tests job : This will trigger your integration tests against dev environments.
Deploy to perf job : This job automatically deploys to performance environments.
Performance tests job : This run your JMeter tests against perf using the permormance jenkins plugin.
4 - Each business story will need to follow this process :
Pair : If the story is not trivial, do pair programming. It will speedup development and it will reduce dramatically the number of bugs.
Distill the story : Sit with your pair, QA and the Product Owner and write down all the acceptance criteria. Ask questions here and try to cover all possible scenario.
ATDD : Write acceptance tests first. It will not compile at first because you do not have any implementation, so write the interfaces that you need in order to make the project to compile. Run the test, it will still fail.
TDD : Now write the test for the most external part of your code. (implement leaves first). Run the test. Implement the code to make the test pass. Test more. Implement more. Continue until the story is fully tested and implemented.
ATDD : Re run your existing acceptance tests. They should pass now.
Review : Submit the code for review. Once the code has been reviewed you can commit.
Sonar : wait for Sonar to tell you how good you and your pair are.
5 - After the Jenkins nightly pipeline is successful completed, the QA team can pick up the Release and they can deploy to their QA environment. QA will run manual, automate and exploratory tests and if bugs have been found, developers need to act immediately.
6 - When QAs do not find bugs, the release can be deployed into UAT where the Product owners can verify and accept the stories.
7 - Once POs are happy, Ops team can deploy to Preprod in order to test the deployment scripts and the deployment instructions.
8 - Ops can deploy the release in production.
Happy customers can celebrate now.
