How does your company approve or grade internally-built tools for general use by staff?
We all know IT engineers like writing scripts. Sometimes these get shared around, and next thing you know a custom shell script or app becomes the de facto standard process.
Does your company have a grading or approval system for vetting such tools? If yes, I'm curious to hear what processes you have in place for testing and approving them for general use by everyone.
Do you rely on the honour system, do you explicitly deny (or have you denied in the past) some from being used, and do you have names for different levels of approvals?
