The first contact with a third-party project takes place according to our corporate approach

2. If, for example, the project code is written in PHP, then the developer launches the PHPStorm software. It is an intelligent editor for PHP, HTML and Javascript code with the ability to analyze code on the fly, prevent errors in the code both in manual mode and by the program itself.

3. Creating a copy of the project on a separate server. This is done in order to eliminate the risk of breaking the main project due to the applied changes in the code. Sometimes applied changes can cause conflicts in the code and this will lead to a partial breakdown of the project's functionality. For example, a developer made changes to the code for the “select quantity of goods” functionality and this change negatively affected the functionality of the shopping cart.

! We will look at the methods of testing code at the Back End and Front End using Jasmine software in the next article.

Researching the project code.

As a rule, from the moment the first task is set and until the moment when you are ready to start working with the code, it takes 16-20 hours to study the code. This time includes:

- search for the code of that part of the project on the Front End side, with which you need to work at the moment. The developer reviews the html / css code and gains the necessary understanding of the organization of the code at this point. It will take 4-8 hours to study.

- search for the code on the Back End side, with which the Front End is connected according to the task facing the developer.

It will take 8-20 hours to study.

Implementation of the first task.

After studying the project code, the developer makes an estimate of the time spent on the first task and submits it to the project manager.

! We wrote an article about project management earlier.

The project manager adds a rating to the Trello or Jira board and notifies the customer about it.

 After agreeing on the assessment with the customer, the project manager transfers the task to the "In Progress" section and the developer receives a notification about the need to start this task.

After completing the work, the developer marks the status “Finish” on the board and the project manager transfers the task to the status “Testing”.

After this step, the developer runs the Git tests and gets the result. Read more about Git in the previous article.

If the test was successful and no errors were found in the code, then the task is transferred to the “Finished” status and the code can be applied on the main project without the risk of breaking the project.

If the test results show errors, then the task is moved to the "In progress" status and the developer starts it again. In Airkod's practice, the code passes tests the first time.
