The Build Master: Microsofts Software Configuration Management Best Practices

  • Define terms in your development process, and keep a glossary of them on an internal build Web page. If you like, standardize on the definitions in this chapter.

  • Clean build your complete product at least once per week, or every day if possible.

  • Use incremental builds on a daily basis if clean builds are not possible or practical.

  • Start charting the quality of your product, and post it where everyone involved in the project can see it.

  • Release LKG (or IDW) builds weekly; then switch to daily releases toward the end of the shipping cycle.

  • Follow the Software Development Flow diagram.

  • As noted earlier, I will also post the definitions in this book to www.thebuildmaster.com site so you can download them and publish them to your group or company.
