But more often than not we see the code quality deteriorating over time and it becomes harder and harder to understand and maintain the code. On the other hand a reasonable level of technical quality can be easily achieved in any software project, if it is kept in mind as a goal from the beginning. Of course it is necessary to measure it on a regular base, ideally at least in the nightly build. About our speaker: is founder and managing director of hello2morrow and CEO of the US subsidiary.
