Joel Test

The Joel Test is a simple and quick test that rates the quality of your software team. Rather than including open-ended responses, this test has 12 yes-or-no questions that determine whether your programming team is up to par.

A score of 12 is perfect. 11 is considered tolerable, and 10 or below is unacceptable. It's a tough test to pass, especially since most software companies have scores of 2 or 3. With a score that low, it's tough to compete with a company like Microsoft that maintains a perfect score.

And, if you are landing an 11 or 12, it doesn't mean you are all set, either. There are many other factors that are essential to a software team. However, passing these 12 questions will ensure that you have high-functioning, customer-centric employees.
