Code Quality in DevOps

Portability

A piece of code is considered to be portable if the same code can work in different environments. Talking about portability, it measures how usable a particular code is in different environments. Test your code regularly on different platforms to ensure high code portability.

Transferability

Transferability is indicative of code clarity. With frequent releases in a DevOps environment, the ability of code to integrate quickly becomes critical.Codes with high transferability can be quickly modified/maintained, which is essential for success DevOps implementation.

Reliability

Code Reliability refers to the probability that the software will perform the essential functions without failure for a specified period of time. It is indicative of the number of defects and availability of the software. Monitoring reliability metrics is critical to prevent/reduce unexpected application downtime, data corruption, and errors.

Maintainability

Maintainability measures the ease to read, modify and extend code. It depends on factors like complexity, size and structure of the codebase. Organizations can develop maintainable codebases using both automation and human intervention. Maintainability is a critical metric in the software domain because it is approximately 75% of the total project cost.

Testability

Testability measures the extent to which a software supports testing efforts. It heavily relies on how well you can observe, isolate, control, and automate testing. The number of test cases needed to find potential faults is used to measure testability. Factors like size and complexity of software impact testability.

Defect Metrics

Defect Metrics provides your team with an overview of the number of defects and their severity. It can help analyze overall software quality. It Helps: 1) Identify the stage in which the defect originated. 2) Time taken to identify and rectify the defects 3)Number of defects per lines of code
