How to measure code quality
11m | May 20, 2021There are certain metrics that are used to measure code quality. These are:
⚙️Maintainability
Maintainability in terms of code quality means how easy is to make changes in the codebase and the amount of risk associated with it.
Some changes that the developer estimated can be made in a few hours, if it takes around 2 days to make, implements, and push the change, then probably the code is not that maintainable. On the other hand, if the changes can be pushed without little or no hiccups, then certainly the codebase can be called ‘Maintainable’.
🛠Well Tested
The application is finally used by the end-user. Any bug in the application can actually demotivate the user further from using the app. Therefore, emphasis must be laid on proper testing of the application.
It must be made sure by the QA and testing team that the code passes all the test cases and the corner cases. With that being said, there is no program that is free of bugs. But, these bugs must be fixed at regular intervals so as to give the end-user a trouble-free experience.
