Importance of maintaining the quality of code

There are many advantages to maintaining the quality of code.

  • Enhanced Efficiency
    • It is often seen that the software developers spend a larger part of their time in solving those issues that could have been prevented. Implementing the coding standards would help the team to detect the problems early or even prevent them completely. This will increase the efficiency throughout the software process.
  • Risk of project failure is reduced
    • Many times it happens that IT projects fail due to problems while developing software.  Implementing the coding standards reduces many problems and the risk of project failures.
  • Minimal Complexity
    • If a code is complex, there are higher chances of it being vulnerable to errors. Coding standards help in the development of software programs that are less complex and thereby reduce the errors.
  • Easy Maintain
    • If the coding standards are followed, the code is consistent and can be easily maintained. This is because anyone can understand it and can modify it at any point in time.
  • Bug rectification
    • It becomes really easy to locate and correct bugs in the software if the source code is written in a consistent manner.
  • A comprehensive look
    • If the source code maintains consistency, a clear view of how code fits in the larger application or fits into the company as a whole
  • Cost efficient
    • A clear code gives the developers an opportunity to reuse the code whenever required. This can radically reduce the cost along with the efforts put in the development.
