Our Web Development Methodology… Updated

Hi!

Torrenegra Labs, the parent company of LetMeGo, uses a common software development methodology across most of its ventures, which we call RRápido. Today, nearly a year after our last release (1.01), we are pleased to present the latest version, 1.1.

This version offers the following improvements:

  • In version 1.01, the automated Selenium tests were recorded by the Developer. We have found that in some instances a different person may need to record these tests. To facilitate this, we have added a new role to the methodology, that of “Human Tester”. As before, we still think that one person may play two or more roles simultaneously; however, by creating an independent role for Human Tester, the methodology now supports a full-time QA expert in the team, if needed.
  • In version 1.01, the automated Selenium tests for the task at hand were recorded or updated as soon as coding ended. Now, in version 1.1, tasks are assigned to the Product Developer for a quick preliminary review. If everything looks fine, the Product Developer then assigns the tasks to the Human Tester to record or update the automated Selenium tests.
  • In version 1.01, there was a step in which the Product Developer would close the ticket for the task if that ticket wasn’t going to be published to the live environment immediately. We have removed that step from version 1.1, as it doesn’t seem to be needed by most teams.
