Top 5 Factors Affecting Software Quality and Developer Productivity

If you take any Software Development environment, where a piece of code is written to automate a process, we can generalize the factors affecting Software Quality and developer productivity under 5 factor.

Now

Top 1: Team Communication

I think this is the important factor because if team communication is not good, it makes a process become terrible, so we should reconsider your team especially communication. the problem becomes more important when a number of developer increase and communication is difficult with everyone in your team.

Now, whatever may be the case, for a successful project work with a higher productivity, team communication should certainly be encouraged (since different teams/individuals may be dealing with separate functions/features/sub-systems/micro-services/nodes) but with lesser communication paths ie., by conducting general meetings or daily scrums, design reviews, walk through, etc., and not by frequent single communication paths which may lower overall productivity.

Top 2: Individual Ability

I think if a developer is not good, He will directly affect software quality because he is a developer, who make software and product for your company. The individual ability has two aspects i.e the General competence of the individual and the familiarity with the particular application area. Lack of familiarity with the application area can result in low productivity and poor quality.

Top 3: Systematic approaches

Besides, a people, I think you should consider your system, do you know systematic approaches are used for software development and maintenance in the work areas of Software Engineering, usually a combination of various systematic approaches is used.

Systematic approaches include to: Agile/Scrum methodology, Tribe/Squad, Hybrid Software Development model.

Top 4: Level of Technology

Can you remember "the last you updated your technology" I guess you don't know, Programming platform refers to the most suitable programming language and framework and the related programming environment which enables developers to easily convert user requirements into machine representations.

Top 5: Change Control

Finally, your control is still a problem because Change Control is historically undertaken mainly due to customer’s poor understanding of the problem and wishes to see a change in the functioning of the Software every now and then.

One way to allow change control is to make the Software and related systems and infrastructure as flexible and loosely couple as possible so that it could be easily changed and switched to various different hardware platforms without much effort.
