Collaboration Practice - Pushed code should be cleaner than it was pulled

Clean up rubbish inside the codes when seen, no matter who left the rubbish there.  A little improvement on every check-in, it make a different over time.

However, be very careful and make sure it is really a rubbish before clean it up.

Coding practice - Keep things simple


  • Good readability - Minimize the time it takes for people who understand your code.
  • Easy to maintenance
  • Easy to understand
  • Learn from open sources, for free!  (Rails gem is a good source for Ruby developers.)
  • No matter how complex a system be, each module and building block can be kept as simple as possible.
  • Each object response for a simple functionality.  
  • Each single function can be unit tested.
  • Keep method size as short as possible.  Say, 5~10 lines.
  • Beautiful code comes from simplicity.
  • DRY - Don't repeat yourself.
  • Do NOT repeat any single business logic on different methods.
  • Before adding a new method or logic, check whether its already implemented in the system.  Reuse or create a wrapping function base on it.

Coding practice - Standardise coding styles

A good coding style can increase readability.  So,
  • Keep a consistent coding styles within development team.
  • Automate the style checks.

Design practice - Observe end user behaviors

The best way to improve system user experience is to observe how users use the system.

Observing user behaviors is better than imagining them.

Showing tool tip is better than creating help pages or user manual. Users will always focus on what they are doing and look for help within small area on UI for the solution.

Development practice - Repay technical debts, Quick!

"Do it good" or "Do it quick"? If no time pressure, always choose "Do it good".

But time pressure may always force you to choose "Do it quick".

When coding in "Do it quick", technical debts will be created and which grows as time pass.

The way to handle "Do it quick" nicely is by adding "technical debts" fix items on development schedule. Repay them as quickly as possible.

Replace mechanize gem by selenium webdriver

Some years ago, the Mechanize gem was used by quite a lot of Ruby developers to exact web contents for testing or other uses.

However, the down side of Mechanize is that it cannot get delayed contents from AJAX. Selenium webdriver came to solve the problem.

The Selenium driver will launch a browser to simulate real user interaction with the target web site.  So, the AJAX and other contents can be easily found using the selenium driver APIs.

Modern QA role on Agile SDLC


Most people in the industry are undoubtedly familiar with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Reference: Wikipedia
I was having lunch with a recruiter colleague, and I was learning about the QA requests from lots of customers.  Most defined the QA role well within the “Testing” oval as shown in the picture.  From my questioning, it appears that the agile movement has done little to alter this SDLC.  In fact, this process is still alive and very will, even within agile teams.  The difference is in the batch size.  Rather than doing analysis on a batch of 50 features and then moving that full batch to design, the agile movement has reduced that batch size considerably, and in some cases reduced it down to a batch size of 1.  Lean agile teams are likely to use a batch size of 1 and continuously pull features through the lifecycle.  As an aside, I find that even when working on a single feature, this cycle is still in play, although the feature is more likely to jump backward and redo a portion of the phase before if new information is found.
The reason for the reflection on QA is that my recruiter colleague still predominantly  receives requests for QA folks to fill the roll of the testing phase.  This means that the QA involvement happens after analysis, after design, after implementation, and only when defects can no longer be prevented.  They can only be discovered.  Inspectors at the end of an assembly line are powerless to prevent defective parts.  They can only discover them through inspection and serve a Quality Control role to prevent defective parts from being shipped.  The same is true in software, and many others have written the same.
I shared a very successful project where we incorporated what would otherwise be a very traditional QA Manager into an agile process and yielded great results and a very low defect rate.  When crafting the team’s process, the QA Manager worked in between the analysis and design phases of a given feature to understand and then define the test cases.  That is, based on the current understanding of the feature, how will we test it?  The work required to create the test cases was sufficient to find analysis gaps early and force them to be filled.  The additional information and context contained in the test cases added the design activity as well and yield, in my opinion, a more robust design that was less prone to defects of oversight.  In this project, we saw the time spent coding reduced to less than 50% of the overall project effort.  In fact, at the beginning of the project, programmers were about 50% of project staff, and half-way through, the programmer staff had been reduced to 1/3 of overall project staff.  By crafting a process that pulled thoughts of QA to the beginning of the process, we modified the environment to one in which it was hard for defects to be created in the first place.  In the end, we found no need to create a defect tracking database, and the team was applauded for its quality.  The production launch, which always carries some risk, was a trivial affair, and the system is currently being used by many to perform their daily job.
Our industry stills see QA not as assuring quality, but merely controlling quality through inspection.  Some savvy development managers already have changed traditional QA job descriptions, but there is a long way to go before these notions reach the mainstream of the industry.
What are your experiences with QA?

Rails customize has_and_belongs_to_many join table name

has_and_belongs_to_many ..., :join_table => '[Join table name]'

In addition, to change foreign key names, use

:foreign_key => '...'
:association_foreign_key => '...'

Rails database migration for new/addition has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many relation

To add a new relation to ModelOne: has_many ModelTwo:
Then, ModelTwo needs a new model_one_id column

To add a new relation to ModelOne: has_many_and_belongs_to Model_Two:
Then, New table model_ones_model_twos [model_one_id, model_two_id]

$ rails generate migration CreateTableModelOnesModelTwos

class CreateTableModelOnesModelTwos < ActionRecord::Migration
  def up
    create_table 'model_ones_model_twos', :id => false do |t|
      t.integer :model_one_id
      t.integer :model_two_id
    end
  end

  def down
    drop_table 'model_ones_model_twos'
  end
end

The :id=>false here is for turning off automatic add primary key column.

Bash process find result

find . -name '*.txt' | while read line; do
    echo "Processing file '$line'"
done

e.g.
find . -name '*T&C*.pdf' | while read orig_file do 
  new_file=`echo $orig_file | sed 's/[/]/_/g'`
  cp $orig_file $new_file 
done

What is Rack?

"Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called middleware) into a single method call."
