Software development methodology for startup less than 3 friends [closed]

Question

I am starting a project with 2 friends, we all are software developers and we want to do things in a safe and right way. That's why we decided to use some software development methodoly that fits our needs. I would like to know which could be a good starting point for us, and these are the variables:

• We are a team of 3.
• We are friends.
• This is a new company.
• We want to do things in the right way.
• We are looking to generate clean code.

I would also like to know of software that could help those methodologies.

Answer 1

A couple must have's to start the right way:

1. Continuous Integration - use a continuous integration server to build your code and run automated tests. Jenkins is a great opensource example
2. Version Control - Git is the trendy new (and better) choice, but SVN works too. FWIW, the organization where I work is moving from SVN to Git
3. Write lots of tests - It will save you time and headache in the long run
4. Work on something you are interested in.
