BetterSoftwareDevelopment

Better Software Development help automate aspects of your software production.
Automatically promote from the design phase when the desired iterations have been complete.
Promote from alpha when all dev work is complete.
And release software automatically when target bugs are complete, and if it has one, its target date has been met. Don’t miss those deadlines !
Support tasks will be closed when all fixable bugs are captured, fixed and released.
Updates will auto release when the update is complete, bugs are fixed and a minimum number of months has passed.

Check out the options for configuration options.

Lower difficulties have a buff to quality design, up to 40%. This is taken into account on the design phase, so you may see less design iterations than you have configured. The buff is applied to the existing design progress then compared to your target design iterations.

Working as of 1.6

For now, this mod is a fairly small QOL mod, but over time I intend to add more features. Watch this space for what they may be.

Increase the software selection

New role: Tester
A tester would be involved during alpha and beta, removing some bugs so that they are fixed during alpha, and speeding up the beta phase. Would be balanced to be between a 2:1 and 3:1 ration of devs:testers. Would have different skills such as:
– Automation – Affects how fast bugs are found
– TBC
