Parallel development in a single app?

[isedwards]

In version 0.x, is it possible to limit quality checking and unit tests to only part of the application?

We could then aim for highest quality in the OpenCDMS generic components – and have more flexibility/rapid development with the Climsoft-specific components.

To help achieve this – would it make sense for the Climsoft-specific components be separated physically, e.g. into a subdirectory, or even into a separate package?

Current OpenCDMS generic components:

• Login screen
• Dashboard
• User profile
• Settings (for all users)

Current Climsoft-specific components:

• Climsoft Metadata management
• Climsoft Data entry forms

Over time, we can replace Climsoft-specific components (which use the Climsoft API) with OpenCDMS generic components that work with multiple CDMSs (using the new OpenCDMS API that will be developed over the next 6-12 months).
