How can code reliability be improved?
Reliability can be increased by frequent code reviews and thorough testing of code in every possible way. Proper error handling and exception handling leads to making reliable software. Robustness can be described as the ability to cope up with the errors during the program execution in spite of the unusual conditions.
What is the best approach to ensure that a code fix doesn’t break existing functionality?
Refactoring your code makes it easier to read and maintain. Refactoring doesn’t change the external functionality of your code; it changes the way the code achieves that functionality.
What do you think are the main factors that lead to decreased code quality in a software system?
Factors including skill of the development team, stability of existing software development environments and processes, and strength of project management can affect the code quality of a software project.
What is bad code quality and why does it matter?
Poorly written code, i.e. bad code quality, is usually hidden from non-technical people. Furthermore, a high quality UI does not necessarily mean the underlying code is written well. Poor code quality can be an extremely expensive problem to fix.
How can I improve the quality of my code?
The best way to improve quality is by analyzing code automatically. By running a static analyzer over code early and often, you’ll make sure the code that gets to the code review phase is the highest quality possible. Plus, you can use static analyzers (such as Helix QAC and Klocwork) to monitor key quality metrics.
Why is code quality important in software development?
The code quality is important, as it impacts the overall software quality. And quality impacts how safe, secure, and reliable your codebase is. High quality is critical for many development teams today. And it’s especially important for those developing safety-critical systems. Good code is high quality. And it’s clean code.
How does high quality code avoid duplication?
High quality code avoids duplication by combining shared functionality into reusable pieces of code that can invoked whenever it is needed. This makes the code easier to read, and repairs or extensions only need to be applied in one place. In programming lingo, an “Exception” is a rare-event that should be handled differently in the code.
