I have confess that this was shorter than I would have thought or wished for, but Thursday is my last day at Splendia. Splendia is a very different company from my previous employer Softonic. While Softonic has all the perks and advantages of a big successful company with a large development team. Splendia is much smaller and when I arrived the whole team had just arrived too and was confronted with a “legacy” code base. ...

Today I gave a talk at WeLovePHP, which is a quarterly talk and workshop series organized by Softonic in Barcelona. They also do one about JavaScript. I can highly recommend them if you are interested in PHP, JavaScript or related topics. I talked about the processes and tools we are using at Splendia. There are no pictures in the slides … sorry.

As hopefully most people working on software projects nowadays we are writing unit tests and do code reviews. Work-flow at Splendia As our project is a large PHP site we are using PHPUnit for unit testing and various static code checking tools (checkstyle, phpmd, pdepend, phpcpd) to verify the quality of our code. All of these are run on our integration branch, whenever a new feature is integrated. Before this can happen the code will be reviewed by other people in the team and only if there is a consensus it will be merged into the integration branch. ...
