Improving code quality and maintaining consistency across the application components is a crucial aspect of software development. In this post let’s look at some of the key engineering best practices to help produce high-quality code. Static code analyzer Scan your code to identify potential bugs, bad coding style, security vulnerabilities, Code-smell and to ensure that the code adheres to industry standards and coding conventions. SonarQube is a popular static code analysis tool that brings default rulesets of industry guidelines. Enterprise specific rules can be defined for each tech stack. For example: Cognitive Complexity < 15 and Cyclomatic Complexity < 10 are ideal target metrics according to industry standards. That means your code has high readability (smaller functions, well structured) and less complexity (less number of decision logic).
