We don't use continous automatic integration because this is a relatively small firmware project (builds in less than 1 minute) and we don't want to tie up another set of hardware for no significant gain.<BR/><BR/>Yes, upfront design as much as possible and practical. We strive to write code right the first time but we do refactor where necessary.<BR/><BR/>Rob, regardless of how fast and reliable your "ruthless refactorings" are, wouldn't it be even faster to avoid at least some of them by thinking/planning a little more ahead?Manfred Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821079570492594694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483979277160872058.post-71654856868872961022007-12-04T21:42:00.000+11:002007-12-04T21:42:00.000+11:00Hi James,You make a good point.

It will also allow your teams to continue using a professional SCM tool that is well balanced between ease of use and power. Some nice short videos on their web site comparing it to CC and SVN. The way I would go based on the description of your teams and environment. Good luck!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030294139813210623noreply@blogger.com
