In the Norvax Product Development Team...
We practice Scrum and all its ceremonies (planning meetings, demos and retrospective meetings). Everyone is given an opportunity to be a Scrum Master.
We stand to meet daily in front of our task boards. Yes, we use Post-It notes.
Our applications are powered by Spring, Hibernate and other Open Source frameworks.
Everyone writes code -- even our Architects.
The code we write is at least 80 percent covered by JUnit test cases. Test cases are written for our business logic, DAO implementations and controllers.
Some of the development tools we use are: JDK 1.6, Hudson, PMD, CPD, CheckStyle, Subversion, Eclipse, CentOS, Apache Ivy, Apache Ant, Capistrano and MXJ.
We encourage innovation and conduct “brown-bag” technical sessions.
