I'd like to get suggestions from some of the folks here
regarding tools and processes for a new, small development
team.
I'm starting a new job next week, and part of the fun is
being able to start fresh. It's a bit different than
what I've done in the past, in a smaller organization
than I'm used to.
Very small team; about 4 developers, 4 additional IT support
people, supporting and developing applications for a firm
of about 80 people. Firm is all-Microsoft, we will be working
in DotNet. They like web-based systems, as they want to offer
some functionality to associated organizations via the web.
Everything I've done with DotNet thus far has been just
me working alone. I've been using NUnit, looked at NAnt,
but that's about it for tools for DotNet. I'm also interested
in suggestions for CM systems, bug tracking and project
management tools.
I've used SourceSafe, of course, and CVS, and I've used PVCS
in years past, but as the organization is interested in
all-Microsoft, Win CVS may not be the best choice.
I'll be broaching the subject of Open-Source tools with them
in the near future.
Alternate suggestions, particularly those for DotNet, and what
might be reasonable alternatives to Open Source tools would
be appreciated. I'd like to have other options in case I
run into objections to some of the things I've used in the
past.
Any thoughts appreciated.
