….until newer Maxims demolish old ones:<\/p>\n
1. Time taken to do reviews(all artifacts – requirement specs, design spec, code, test cases etc)
is directly proportional to application quality and inversely proportional to number of defects.<\/p>\n
2. Definition of “Done” = QA executes the software with acceptable types and amounts of defects. <\/p>\n
3. “Working code against tiny database” != “Working code against production size database”
or “Tested against tiny database or tiny files” != “Production Ready Application”<\/p>\n
4. Cross vertical understanding by developers is directly proportional to code quality in a given vertical.<\/p>\n
4a. Business understanding by developers is directly proportional to Quality of software.<\/p>\n
5. Agile development != Automatic Quality and Success
or Speed of agility is directly proportional to Risk of Architecture shifting requirements discovered late in the cycle.<\/p>\n
6. Not integrated software = Not working software.<\/p>\n
7. Nightly Trunk Building, Deploying and Smoke Tested = Stability.<\/p>\n
7a. Nightly Master Build = Successful Compilation + Successful Unit Tests + Successful Integration Tests + Successful Deployment + Successful Smoke Testing<\/p>\n
8. Number of Branches is indirectly proportional to Stability of Code.<\/p>\n
9. Duration of Branches is indirectly proportional to Stability of Code.<\/p>\n
10. Developer Estimate != Commitment<\/p>\n
11. Contract = Commitment<\/p>\n
12. Probability that Estimate in Contract is in vicinity of accuracy = 0.<\/p>\n
13. Probability that Contract will be altered as project progresses = 0.<\/p>\n
15. The usability of a product is directly proportional to the hourly salary of the intended end-users.<\/p>\n
16. Defect Fixing – Root Cause Analysis and Addressal = Lost Opportunity for better quality.<\/p>\n
17. Probability of defects slipping in is indirectly proportional to build, test, deploy speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
