But now you are confused how to setup a proper development environment in JDeveloper 11g so you can work better in a group of teams. This session will provide basic steps to setup a development environment using SVN source control, Hudson, and Team Productivity Center, as well as share the experience of experts.

5. What is Productivity?
As per Wikipedia:
“Productivity is a measure of
the efficiency of production.
Productivity is a ratio of
production output to what is
required to produce it (inputs).
The measure of productivity is
defined as a total output per
one unit of a total input.”

6. What is Productivity?
In Simple terms:
Productivity = Value / Time
 Increase the value created
 Decrease the time required to
create that value

 Noise
 Our Addictions
 Social media sites
 The Boss

8. Productivity Hacks
But what really hurts….
 Small pixels screen
 Too many windows
 Context switching b/w apps
 Lack of Issue tracking
 No source control
 Lack of communication
between developers

9. Solution
 Implement general best practices
 Share common code
 Control Source
 Track issues
 Automate build and
deployment processes
 Enhance communication
between teams
9 #Kscope

10. ADF Development Best Practices
 Use Iterative development
 Develop Common module first
 Shared ADF Model
 Develop using Bounded Task flows
 Common layouts and skins
 Common connections settings
 Use Integrated WLS to Test
Plus….
 Integrate LDAP could help
 Developer wikis
 Big screen monitors, More RAM
 Meetings (What I learned last week)

17. Expert’s Tips
Discussion Topic on ADF EMG
Environment:
● Restrict developers to build and upload
ADF Library JARs
● Deploy Shared Libraries to artifact
repository to avoid version drift
● Do regular Commits on SVN and at
directory level
● Make simple developer machines
Tool:
● Custom colors in JDeveloper
● Make source view default to open a file
● Use JDEV short cuts & code templates
