The Challenge of Working with Lone Developers
If you’re relying on an internal developer or contractor to develop software for your organisation, then it’s vital to have a process to check for mistakes.
While there are many talented developers who know the basics of web application development and coding, it’s easy to make mistakes and push them live when working alone.
A Common Scenario
- Bob, the internal developer, reviews the requirements set out by the company and starts developing code
- He reads his own code and doesn’t see any problems
- He ships the code live, and the application appears to work okay
- Users start to report bugs that are affecting their user experience
- Bob is left trying to find a fix before the users go to a competitor
The reality is that if you’re working with a lone internal developer or contractor, even if they know more than the basics of web application development, they will often struggle to test their code.
As a result, they will fail to detect bugs that wouldn’t have gone unnoticed if they were working as part of a larger software development team.
