Software quality is a decisive factor for the success of software projects. If all software developers in a development department learn software quality skills and become certified, this has several advantages:
- Increased code quality: developers with software quality skills are better able to write high-quality code that contains fewer bugs and is easier to maintain. They understand best practices and can apply them consistently.
- Early bug detection: Developers who are trained in quality assurance can detect and fix bugs earlier in the development process. This reduces the cost and effort of later corrections
- Uniform quality standards: When all developers work to the same quality standards, consistency is increased throughout the code. This facilitates collaboration and the code review process
- Improved collaboration and communication: A common understanding of quality requirements and methods promotes better communication within the team and with other departments (e.g. QA, product management).
- More efficient test processes: Developers with knowledge of software quality can plan and execute tests more efficiently. This leads to faster and more thorough test coverage.
- Increased customer satisfaction: Quality software leads to fewer errors and crashes, which increases end user satisfaction. Satisfied customers are more loyal and recommend the product to others.
- Compliance and standards: Many industries require compliance with certain quality and security standards. Certified developers ensure that the software meets these requirements.
- Proactive quality improvement: Certified developers are often in a better position to take proactive measures to improve quality, such as continuous integration and deployment, automated testing and code analysis.
- Competitive advantage: A company that relies on the training and certification of its developers in software quality can differentiate itself from the competition in the market through higher product quality and reliability.
- Reduction of technical debt: Developers with quality awareness are better able to prevent technical debt and reduce existing technical debt, which improves software maintainability and extensibility in the long run.
Overall, training and certifying all developers in a development department in software quality leads to sustainably better software development practices, which has a positive impact on the entire company.
