To seek out new markets and to boldly go where no enterprise has gone before. We know that what engineering needs is quality requirements and focused feedback then get out of the way and let you do your job so join Code Roller for a smoother and more rewarding developer experience.

Six Reasons Why Code Roller is Good For Developers

• You review and rate the requirements. You also can interview team members. This gives you more insight as to the quality of these requirements before you are asked to make estimates. It also encourages higher quality requirements and accelerates discovery earlier in the process in order to mitigate scope creep later on.
• You review and rate your analyst's use cases before you give coding estimates. If you perform the analyst function too, then this gives your requirement writer a chance to provide feedback as to how well you understood the requirements. Nothing can bum your day out faster than learning that you wasted two weeks development effort over a misunderstanding in the requirements.
• Testing before coding provides a great reality check on your use cases and designs.
• Your architect or team lead can review and rate your designs before you give coding estimates. A lot of time and work can be saved when a more knowledgable team member informs you about that little known function that has already been coded and does just what you need.
• If you keep your coding task estimates and progress up to date as you code, then you can politely and professionaly tell your boss to speak to the hand the next time they interrupt you to ask about your progress. Your progress is already documented and waiting for them in Code Roller.
• Code Roller work flow empowers you to push back when they tell you that requirements have changed as you are in the middle of implementing them. You don't finish the designs until the requirements for the release have been frozen. You don't start coding until that release has been approved by management. When requirements need to change, then those become new requirements in a future release. It's not your problem if they didn't get it right the first time.
