Development process¶

Here is a little list of the development stages involve in Aybabtu. The stages prefixed by '>' are the current stages.

1. [ok] Brainstorming.
2. [ok] Functional definition.
3. [ok] Defining of technologies, libraries and tools.
4. [ok] Creating of some prototypes to validate the point above. They will be reused during the implementation stage.
5. [ok] Technical specifications. Protocols, algorithms and persistent data. Some prototypes can be added to test algorithms or anything else.
6. [ok] Architecture of components and theirs interface. -> Component Diagrams.
7. [ok] Modeling of each components. -> Class diagram, sequence diagram, state diagram, etc..
8. > Implementation of each component with unit tests, unit benchmarks, and code coverage. Once a component is near finished, a another person of the team will read the code and criticize it in a positive way.
9. Alpha version.
   • The 1.0 branch is created
   • All features are implemented.
   • Profiling, optimizing, simplification and stabilisation. See Stabilisation process
10. Beta versions.
    • The tag 1.0 beta is created.
    • Testing with people who didn't participate in the project.
    • After some corrected bugs an another beta is created if necessary (beta1, beta2, etc..).
11. Final Release \o/ (before Starcraft 2 release if possible ^-^´)
    • The tag 1.0 is created
12. Define the future integration workflow¹ with git and Goto 1..
