Joel Test - Web Application Edition

Ver. 1.3.3.7

The [Joel Test][1] is a great way to check if your potential employer or current employer has a good handle on their software team. [The Original Joel Test][1] is great, but it is aimed at complied languages in a non-web-application environment. This is a basic rephrasing of the test to suit web app development with minor updates for developing in 2015. The test is actually part of [posting a job on Stack Overflow][http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/post], and rightfully so. The language just needed some updates for it to work for my company.

The test is simple. If your company meets the requirement, you get a point. If you don't meet the requirement, you don't get a point. There are 12 questions, so there are a possible of 12 points available. Simple enough, right?

As the original test says 12 out of 12 is perfect, 11 is okay, 10 or less is failing. The reason the test is so strict is because these are 12 HUGE
