The key questions (more "yes" answers being better) were:

• Do you use source control?

• Can you make a build in one step?

• Do you make daily builds?

• Do you have a bug database?

• Do you fix bugs before writing new code?

• Do you have an up-to-date schedule?

• Do you have a spec?

• Do programmers have quiet working conditions?

• Do you use the best tools money can buy?

• Do you have testers?

• Do new candidates write code during their interview?

• Do you do hallway usability testing?

A quarter of a century later, are these still a good test? Were they even back then? Which ones do your teams honor and what might you choose to replace or supplement them with today?
