One-Step Build: Done!

We just added a one-step build to the deployment process of Instant Review. Now we can make a shipping build (including encryption, obfuscation, installer, ...) in only one step from our last source snapshot ... AND NOW we're getting closer and closer to Joel's idea of a perfect software team ;-)

 1. Do you use source control? yes
2. Can you make a build in one step? yes
3. Do you make daily builds? In a few days
4. Do you have a bug database? yes
5. Do you fix bugs before writing new code? yes
6. Do you have an up-to-date schedule? weekly
7. Do you have a spec? No, except for large features.
8. Do programmers have quiet working conditions? Sure
9. Do you use the best tools money can buy? Oh, yes
10. Do you have testers? jep
11. Do new candidates write code during their interview? yes
12. Do you do hallway usability testing? Not yet

New Test Hardware Arrived!

26062009169

Due to unscheduled customer projects, some new features (e.g. voice integration) and small problems we are somewhat behind schedule in terms of being ready for massive P2P/mesh communication testing. Now we are able to simulate meshes for all possible test cases (peers behind multiple NATs, different NATs, virtualization, different connections: T1, DSL, UMTS, …).

We are very excited about this big step. The “public beta” is near!
