General Procedures for working in Software

Updated 3 June 2008 by Barry Klein

It is important to follow some general procedures while working in the software area at Computerbank.

These include:

• We ask all volunteers and staff to remember to label, number and sign all paperwork required as part of our system build process. The CBV ID number should be recorded on the Client System Build Sheet. All systems should be numbered, if the system does not have a CBV ID number it should be sent back to hardware.
• All systems installed need to be tested against a system checklist.
• We request that all volunteers, as much as possible, clean up at the end of the day and label any unfinished work. Unfinished work should be left in safe condition and should not interfere with the work of other volunteers.

Admin (root) and user passwords are now printed on the Tech Spec sheet.These and additional software procedures and information can be found in the software section of our Intranet.

It is important to remember to ask questions and seek additional information if you are unsure about what you are doing.
