Overview

This page is for developers starting work on Custodian.

An online portal for solicitors to search for, and view custody records. The records pull directly from Niche.

How the team works

Work is tracked as user stories on the product board, built on a branch, and released through pull request, staging, and product-owner approval.

• Agile and Kanban
• Gitflow and releases — branch from master as feature/, bugfix/, or username/; open a pull request; do not commit straight to master
• User stories
• Definition of done — including cross-browser checks and WCAG 2.1 AA
