At Mercadona Tech, our software development is guided by core principles—"Universal Truths"—that reflect the values of Mercadona’s business. These principles shape our practices in collaboration, quality, and team efficiency.
VU1: Give, Ask, and Demand
We foster a cycle of knowledge-sharing and high expectations. Experienced developers mentor others, set standards, and enforce quality through reviews. This extends to product development, where we release features with feedback loops, refining them based on user input.
VU2: Contrast
“We can’t improve what we can’t measure.” We use KPIs, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and CI/CD pipelines to verify progress through measurable data, ensuring quality is backed by evidence.
VU3: Actions, Not Words
Results matter more than plans. With continuous delivery and eXtreme Programming (XP), we focus on deploying working code and verifying performance, ensuring that every change delivers tangible value.
These Universal Truths create a strong foundation for effective software development, ensuring we deliver high-quality solutions that align with Mercadona’s business approach.
