14 Lessons in Building Quality Software

It’s true, quality in software development projects doesn’t just happen on its own. Quality usually doesn’t happen when the project depends on a small group of heroes to ride in on their white horses and wave their shiny swords to vanquish the problems. Quality happens when careful planning is done, when the entire project team maintains a quality-conscious approach every step, when problems don’t escape from the phase in which they were introduced. A quality product is a team effort. It’s planned and predictable. It’s without heroes, and it’s faster and cheaper than a low quality effort.
