iOS 6
[edit]DROP IT LIKE ITS HAHT
Start of Sprint 55:
* new feature work is done in a separate branch (experimental/prototype1, etc.)
Sprint 56 Release is the last "planned" iOS-6-compatible release; we *may* decide to do the final iOS 6 release on the first Tuesday of Sprint 56 instead of deferring to the first Tuesday of Sprint 57
GitHub
[edit]Dependency for implementing new branching strategy Going to email mobile-tech and talk to Tomasz. Show him Brian's GitHub fork w/ Travis & Coveralls
Branch strategies
[edit]Criteria
[edit]- Keep master green
- Account for things being kicked back from QA
- We need to make sure new branching strategies work with CI
Strategies
[edit]- Release branching when builds are cut
- Cut release branches w/ release candidate builds
- Regular development continues on master
- Hot-fixes get merged into release branch
We need to figure out a branching strategy before we need to merge new feature work (end of Sprint 55) ^ Current plan is to merge into master
Crash Reporting in Xcode 6
[edit]Better than iTC on the web!
Testing Frameworks
[edit]BDD Frameworks:
describe(@"feature", ^{
it(@"should do a thing", ^ {
...
});
});
Resolution: Use OCMockito as mocking framework. Use Expecta/Nimble as main matching framework and keep Hamcrest in the project if needed to use as mock args. Need to experiment a bit more with Nimble.
