  2. Developer reviews the task requirements and design documents.

  3. Developer sets up the necessary development environment.

  4. Developer writes code to implement the task requirements.

  5. Developer performs unit testing to ensure the code works as expected.

  6. Developer commits the code to the version control system.

  7. Developer updates the task status in the project management tool.

  8. Tester retrieves the code from the version control system.

  9. Tester performs integration testing and logs any bugs found.

  10. Developer fixes any bugs reported by the Tester and commits the updates.

  • Code is merged into the main branch of the version control system.

  • Task is reviewed and closed by the Project Manager.

VI. Special Requirements

  • All code must adhere to the project’s coding standards and guidelines.

  • Unit tests must cover at least 80% of the new code.

  • Integration testing must be thorough with no critical bugs remaining open.
