Why does poor software quality continue to plague enterprises of all sizes in all industries? Part of the problem lies with the process, rather than individual developers. This practical guide provides ten best practices to help team leaders create an effective working environment through key adjustments to their process.As a follow-up to their popular book, Building Maintainable Software, consultants with the Software Improvement Group (SIG) offer critical lessons based on their assessment of development processes used by hundreds of software teams. Each practice includes examples of goalsetting to help you choose the right metrics for your team.Achieve development goals by determining meaningful metrics with the Goal-Question-Metric approachTranslate those goals to a verifiable Definition of DoneManage code versions for consistent and predictable modificationControl separate environments for each stage in the development pipelineAutomate tests as much as possible and steer their guidelines and expectationsLet the Continuous Integration server do much of the hard work for youAutomate the process of pushing code through the pipelineDefine development process standards to improve consistency and simplicityManage dependencies on third party code to keep your software consistent and up to dateDocument only the most necessary and current knowledge

Have you ever felt frustrated working with someone elses code? Difficult-to-maintain source code is a big problem in software development today, leading to costly delays and defects. Be part of the solution. With this practical book, youll learn 10 easy-to-follow guidelines for delivering C# software thats easy to maintain and adapt. These guidelines have been derived from analyzing hundreds of real-world systems.Written by consultants from the Software Improvement Group (SIG), this book provides clear and concise explanations, with advice for turning the guidelines into practice. Examples for this edition are written in C#, while our companion Java book provides clear examples in that language.Write short units of code: limit the length of methods and constructorsWrite simple units of code: limit the number of branch points per methodWrite code once, rather than risk copying buggy codeKeep unit interfaces small by extracting parameters into objectsSeparate concerns to avoid building large classesCouple architecture components looselyBalance the number and size of top-level components in your codeKeep your codebase as small as possibleAutomate tests for your codebaseWrite clean code, avoiding "e;code smells"e; that indicate deeper problems
