Standards without control?

Expand Post »
A recent poll wanted to know if programming standards are still in use in development organisations... and if they are controlled. The question was: does your organisation implement programming/coding standards?

None...............................20%
Yes, but without control.....49%
Yes, with control...............31%

Participants: 369

A majority of the participating organisations have coding standards... and a majority does not control them ;o) What is the situation at your location? Does this lack of control really hurt?

Re: Standards without control?

>What is the situation at your location?
We adhere closely to standards and enforce correct behavior.

>Does this lack of control really hurt?
It can, very easily. One of the most important guidelines in programming style is consistency. That includes project-wide consistency even when multiple people are working on different modules.
