A key fact: the best way to improve development efficiency and quality-Reduce Code Rework time. No matter the reason for rework is demand/design/debugging.
The average production efficiency of software products in the industry is 10-50 lines of final delivery code per person per day [including all non-coding expenses]. ?? -- How is the time spent?
Although the non-coding work of testers, project managers, administrative support, and designers is included, it is not the main reason for time consumption.
Debugging, correction, refactoring, and rework are the most expensive time overhead for software development. A conclusion from IBM's research:
Software projects with the least defects have the shortest development cycle and the highest efficiency. Eliminating Software defects is the most time-consuming software work. About 50% of the total resources in traditional immature development methods
Another phenomenon:
The fastest and slowest development speedProgramThe average number of defects generated by members is the least. Medium Speed is the maker of the most defects.
Improvement Method: by allocating resources and preventing defects with low-cost quality assurance, we can avoid costly job suspension.
