The Joel test: how good is your development team?

  • Do you use version control software?
  • Can you build the product in one step?
  • Do you compile the product daily?
  • Do you have a database for the bugs?
  • Do you fix the bugs before adding more code?
  • Do you have an up-to-date schedule?
  • Do you have a specifications document?
  • Are the programmers in a quiet place?
  • Do you use the best tools you can buy?
  • Do you have people to test the products (testers)?
  • Do you make new candidates write code in the interviews?
  • Do you do “hallway” usability testing?

Giving one point for each “yes”, we can quickly and easily evaluate our development team, according to Joel on Software, in this article, which is also translated into Spanish.
