J2EE project execution best practices
ShriKant Vashishtha discusses three practices for resolving day-to-day software project execution problems.
In the article, J2EE project execution: Some best practices, ShriKant suggests that all J2EE projects should:
- Use template code:
Among other benefits, he says that template code gives developers a ready reference and the template jump starts the coding effort. - Perform automated code review:
Instead of relying on manual code reviews, he suggests that teams make use of automated code review tools like JLint, CheckStyle and Lint4J. - Write an effective developer’s handbook: ShriKant suggests that considering the long development times, attrition rates and varying developer skill sets, it is important to have a handbook to sort of get all developers on the same page. He also lists the things that should be part of a developer handbook.
Any thoughts on how effective these practices are, particularly on the rarely used practice of writing a developer handbook?
