[Banking-pm] What does your development environment look like?

[leif.eriksen at hpa.com.au]

Company base is a laptop with XP and VMWare for any other O/S you want. Infrastructre only support the XP part though

OK my minimum requirements are
1. A windows environment - be that M$ or X11 or whatever
2. xemacs for that env - via cygin on M$
3. Some kind of versioning solution - one of subversion|cvs|ClearCase  preferred

Preferred module installs
1. Devel::Cover
2. Test::MockObject
3. XML::Simple
4. Log::Log4perl

If I have to work on C/C++
1. Cmake -  I will NEVER write a Makefile again
2. Valgrind for the x86 linux boxen, Insure++ from Parasoft or Purify for Win|Solaris
3. Doxygen-enabled source code

For issue tracking - JIRA from Atlassian - I have never worked with anything as good as this - brilliant

If possible Dart for dashboards of automated builds/tests etc
 
I've used Komodo, it was OK. Havent taken the time to learn the Eclipse path yet, probably should real soon now.

This is a fairly nuts and bolts type of list, but its important to evaluate the (political|management|policy) environment that does or does not allow you to have these tools. That has a vastly more nuturing or supressive effect on your ability to work effectively than any tool you could list.

Hi all,

An impromptu survey, if that's alright with everyone.

It's no exaggeration to say that in my current role (and one of the reasons for leaving my current role) the Perl development environment consists of Putty, a copy of vi(1), and a development server located on another continent.

Now I know there are those that will immediately launch in to a 3 Yorkshire man sketch ("vi?  We had to dig the bits by hand out of the local coal
mine") at this, but I'd be interested to find out:

a) What your uncustomised development environment looks like (i.e., you sit down on day 1, what does/did the company provide as a default?)

b) What sort of freedom/latitude you had to install your own tools (Emacs? 
Eclipse?  Particular debuggers?  Other tools?)

Cheers,

N
