Set High Standards for Code Quality & Maintainability

This standard mandates the enforcement of high standards for code quality and maintainability to ensure clarity, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.

1. Set High Standards for Code Quality & Maintainability:

Ensure that every piece of code meets a high standard of clarity, efficiency, and maintainability. This approach ensures long-term system health and reduces technical debt.

• 1.1 Coding Guidelines and Automated Checks:
  • 1.1.1 Clear Guidelines:
    • Follow clear coding guidelines and enforce them through automated checks.
    • Automate the generation and distribution of coding guidelines.
  • 1.1.2 Automated Enforcement:
    • Implement automated checks to ensure adherence to coding standards.
    • Automate the integration of code quality tools.
• 1.2 Code Reviews:
  • 1.2.1 Readability and Maintainability Focus:
    • Require code reviews for all changes with a focus on readability and maintainability.
    • Automate the code review process.
  • 1.2.2 Review Automation:
    • Implement automated code review tools.
    • Automate the tracking of review feedback.
• 1.3 Static Analysis and Automated Testing:
  • 1.3.1 Early Issue Detection:
    • Use static analysis, linting, and automated testing to catch issues early.
    • Automate static analysis and linting tools.
  • 1.3.2 Automated Testing Implementation:
    • Automate the execution of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
    • Automate the generation of test reports.

By setting high standards for code quality and maintainability, organisations can ensure long-term system health and reduce technical debt.
