In the process of implementing Dflss in XRCE projects, continuous integration and coding quality measurement and business intelligence has become important for all development teams. The use of code quality tools is often complex and these tools offer many options that may or may not be useful or meaningful.
The goal of this internship is to uniformize the easy setup and use of continuous integration system and code quality assurance tools among the teams, to establish coding best practices, and to provide different meaningful reports that will help the team to ensure code readability/reusability and standardization. Those best practices will be implemented and tested against the quality checking tools for future projects during the build process.
The internship will require the setup of a continuous integration system, then establish the best practices to be followed by consulting the team members and benchmarking. Finally to implement them as configurable rules via the code quality tools.
The successful candidate will have a strong knowledge in code quality and strong programming skills in C# or Java and their respective build environment. Knowledge of NAnt, Cruise Control, dependency checking tools is a plus.
The Xerox Research Centre Europe (XRCE) is a young, dynamic research organization, which aims at creating innovative document technologies to support growth in Xerox content and document management services across the different Xerox businesses
XRCE is both a multicultural and multidisciplinary organization set in Grenoble, France. Our domains of research stretch from the social sciences to computing. We have renowned expertise in natural language applications, work practice studies, image-based document processing, distributed applications and knowledge management agents. The diversity of culture and disciplines at XRCE makes it an interesting and stimulating environment to work in, leading to often unexpected discoveries!
XRCE is part of the Xerox Innovation group made up of 800 researchers and engineers in four world-renowned research and technology centres. Xerox is an equal opportunity employer.
The Grenoble site is set in a park in the heart of the French Alps in a stunning location only a few kilometers from the city centre. The city of Grenoble has a large scientific community made up of national research institutes (CNRS, Universities, INRIA) and private industries. Stimulated also by the presence of a large student community, Grenoble has become a resolutely modern city, with a rich heritage and a vibrant cultural scene. It is a lively and cosmopolitan place, offering a host of leisure opportunities. Winter sports resorts just half an hour from campus and three natural parks at the city limits make running, skiing, trekking, climbing and paragliding easily available.
Grenoble is close to both the Swiss and Italian borders.
