The must do¶

• Every change starts with opening the respective ticket or wiki page describing the testcase, testing it to fail, programing the change, retesting until success, documentation and ends hitting the save button
• Check-in your code into git as often as possible, merge branches every friday
• Do not leave the office without writing down your office hours in redmine
• Leave your workplace in neat working conditions
• Treat confidential information and data with respect
• Don't leave code uncommitted before getting out of AMVARA
• Use Virtual Machines to develop projects
• Have a backup
• First, do ask the ticket owner/creator "How to resolve a ticket/issue". Do not ask random people.
