Case Study - Code Management #10

Open rjmajma opened 8 years ago

For agencies working with engineers, whether in-house or not, it's good to have an expectation for what good code management practices are. These aren't going to be binding anyone (at least I don't expect that they will be), but could be used to set expectations for how an agency's tools will be developed. Things to possibly include:

Did you develop in the open? What are the benefits?
How do you handle commits, pull requests, and peer review?
How important is testing? What kind of tools do you use? (cc @khandelwal @cmc333333)

More later.

CFPB has our code review guide in our Front End repository, but even internally our teams can have small variations on the organization's guidelines.

In my team, we adopt CFPB's front end guidelines and have additional guidelines on device support, responsive, performance and accessibility testing. We also operate on a whoever opens a pull request also merges it, so that one person is accountable for when changes happen.

There have been a lot of requests for various case studies from government. Including topics around policy, procurement, and general adoption of open source and related practices would be great.
