Recommended methodology for working with shared libraries and Mercurial
I work in a small team of developers who all collaborate on several Zend PHP projects. We are using Mercurial with a collection of upstream repositories, as well as Jenkins for centralized testing and health reports. We want to implement a shared library of common classes, but are struggling with finding a workflow that works well with our current environment.

How to design software when using BDD?
I’m working on a project right now and it’s my first project using BDD. Up till now, the user stories have proven themselves a very valuable weapon to understand requirements and to specify the solution in a comprehensive, easy to understand language.
How to keep the trunk stable when tests take a long time?
We have three sets of test suites:
Is there a study showing which agile approach is best suited for particular kind of project? (in this case a re-platforming project, Java to .NET)
It is said that the Kanban methodology is suited for software maintenance and support areas, whereas Scrum is more suited for new product development. No process or methods are complete. Using the right one will help you succeed, but they will not guarantee success.
Methodology behind fetching large XML data sets in pieces
I am working on an HTTP Server in Delphi which simply sends back a custom XML dataset. I am not following any type of standard formatting, such as SOAP. I have the system working seamlessly, except one small flaw: When I have a very large dataset to send back to the client, it might take up to 2 minutes for all the data to be transferred. The HTTP Server I’m building is essentially an XML Data based API around a database, implementing the common business rule – therefore, the requests are specific to the data behind the system.
systems/software engineering design process
I just developed my first non-trivial android app. It was a complete nightmare. I came up with an idea, build the app, changed my idea, and implemented a lot of input from others on new features. All in all my app took 10 times longer than I think that it should have, it is almost impossible to look the source code and tell what’s going on with the classes, and may or may not have unused methods that I’ll never be able to find…
What is Developer Anarchy?
I’ve been reading about Developer (or Programmer) Anarchy, which seems to be billed as a post-Agile development methodology. I found a few resources on it (1, 2) but it doesn’t seem to be a lot out there.
Hardware key removal on a test system
One of my company’s applications still requires a hardware key to run, but we’re currently in the process of removing that requirement and replacing it with an online check. The issue we are having is that we allow our customers to set up test systems with copies of their live databases. With the hardware keys, that isn’t a problem as they get a special key that tells the software it is a test, but we’re trying to figure a way to do this with a software only check. Our only idea so far is to check the hardware against a registered list in the database, but before we implement this, I want to ask how others have solved similar problems?
