[cciug] Build Procedures/Policy

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I could get some input on how everyone manages their build schedules.

Currently we have a development branch which all the work is done on. The developers check in their code when they are finished and when it comes time to build I pick up the latest elements on the development branch. This has caused a few problems with files not being checked in, and developers not testing their code.

I want to enforce a more "strict" policy. My idea is as follows:
    All changes to the code are related to a software change number and I have a script prompting for the SCR# upon check in. An attribute is then placed on the element. <This is the new part --> I want the developers to submit the SCR# with a listing of all changed files (I have a script for this, they just need to run it). Then I can build based only on the submitted SCR#'s.

Unfortunately, the developers are adamantly against this idea because it requires them to do extra work (running a script) and remembering to submit their SCR's. (since I said non submitted SCRs would not go into the build).

So I am back to square one, building the latest elements which I do not think is adequate procedure.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you,
Julie Rudinski
