YODO

A rogue and bold methodology has shaken the Software Development community across the world in the last 12 months: it's called YODO (You Only Develop Once) and their supporters claim it has many advantages over traditional and test-driven development:

  • The client decides which bugs are accepted as features.
  • Faster development cycles.
  • The client is in charge of all testing, fit to his or her own very environment!
  • You can get many friendly feedback from clients.
  • Lots of time/money saves in test environments (i.e. you won't have to buy additional Windows licenses to test in IE).
  • Unit, Stress and UX testing are done directly by the users.
  • Complex to test environments like Internet Explorer 5 are easily tested on demand, in the fashion of lazy loading.
  • Life is too short.

"Time to Market is extremely important in startups, with yodo, we where able to deploy from day one, starting to get profits in the first week." Argel Arias - CTO at OsomTalk
