## How to do an audit from home
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A little reminder first,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Audits, as we have told you many times, are an essential part of leveling up and truly acquiring your skills
|
|
|
|
|
and knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, they must be done with your physical presence.
|
|
|
|
|
The idea is that they encourage the exchange between the auditors and the members of the group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the project fails, the whole group will learn why. And then after all your audits are done you will retry.
|
|
|
|
|
During all those extra audits, you, as a group, will discuss about your failures with the auditors.
|
|
|
|
|
If the project succeed, you will be an inspiration for the auditors.
|
|
|
|
|
In both of those cases you will learn or you will teach. The roles will keep reversing almost every time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is, ultimaly, those interactions that are essential for really learning;
|
|
|
|
|
To give and receive feedback, but also to see what you really know as an individual and what you do not.
|
|
|
|
|
This will increase your capacity to solve problems and your capacity to adapt, which is one of the most important
|
|
|
|
|
skill of a good programmer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today, once again, we must adapt...
|
|
|
|
|
Knowledge is important but not as essential as health.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We really wish all of you to stay safe and healthy at home.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is why we created a little guideline in how to conduct your audit from home.
|
|
|

There is a video here : [youtube.com/watch?v=J8g8P-IJLJw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8g8P-IJLJw)

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But we are also going to summarize the process.
|
|
|
|
|
So here we go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites for the team captain and the auditor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A program to communicate and livestream installed (like Discord [discordapp.com](https://discordapp.com/) )
|
|
|
|
|
- A program to allows the auditor to take charge of the computer
|
|
|
|
|
of the team captain installed (like teamViewer [teamviewer.com](https://www.teamviewer.com/) )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisite for the team captain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The team captain must communicate :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The contact of his or her teammates to the auditor
|
|
|
|
|
- The git repository of the project to be reviewed (the link must be public or accessible for the auditor)
|
|
|
|
|
- The team captain must be logged in in his or her session to allow the auditor to start its audit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisite for the auditor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The auditor will need to create the group on the communication program
|
|
|
|
|
- The auditor will need to download the project repository
|
|
|
|
|
- The auditor, if the internet bandwith allows it, will livestream the process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Let the auditor establish the communication with the group members and the captain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Once all prequisites are done from the team captain and the auditor let the audit begin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. If possible, the auditor starts the stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The captain, after checking that the login is done on his or her computer, allows the auditor
|
|
|
|
|
to take control of its computer (with teamViewer for example)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. The auditor now has the control to start the audit on the computer of the captain.
|
|
|
|
|
The organization of the windows by the auditor might be the tricky part. We suggest
|
|
|
|
|
to see how we did it in the video if you find it difficult.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. The auditor conducts the audit, if the auditor can not live stream its audits, he or she
|
|
|
|
|
will then explain by voice (or writing in the chat) what he or she is doing to the rest of the group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. The audit is conducted until all questions are validated or until a mistake is made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. If a mistake is made the auditor can copy paste the commands that detected the mistakes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. The group discusses as much as needed until the audit is completed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Once the audit is completed, all programs can be closed up. Say bye and thank you for your time and make the
|
|
|
|
|
necessary conclusions among the members of the group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Conclusion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for reading until the end. Stay safe.
|
|

### Bonus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Did you know that there is a nice `Live Share` extension on `vscode`?
|
|
|
|
|
This allows to do remote group programming easily. It might be an alternative solution
|
|
|
|
|
to the livestream if necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
Try it out!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stay safe everyone! Happy coding!
