Development standards
One of the key responsibilities of an SA is to guide and equip the development team with best practices and industry standards for development. Code can be written in any form and structure and will still work, but having predefined standards and procedures helps in maintaining the code in the long run. It also helps in enhancing the performance of the automation.
Let’s review some of the development best practices and industry standards for development:
- Naming conventions: In the development of any software, variables play a key role in storing and managing data within the code. Providing proper names and following a naming convention is key to having clean and readable code.
Naming conventions can be lower camel case, such as fullName, or upper camel case, such as FullName. It depends on what to define as standard. This can further be standardized by giving structure to it, such as adding _ or $ characters to a variable.
No matter...
