Hi guys
We are writing some articles on the work of veronica to support merging activities. We need your input great smalltalk community :) What are the questions that you ask yourselves when you are/want to merge some code in your project? We would like to do a compilation of questions and also evaluate how the solution of veronica solves them or part of them.
Here are some typical questions we asked ourselves. - What other changes did this change require? - Can I integrate this change right now? - How large it is? - Who made it? - Is it still valid (when I'm working on an old change)? - Is this change impacted by a change that happened in another branch of my software?
Number 1 question I always ask but is sort of implicit in the other questions is, why was this change made? which impacts on, is it still valid and is this change impacted by a change that happened in another brach of software.
