This standard documents the way we name variables, properties, and methods, the way we indent code, and even the way our internal documentation works. This enforces consistency and allows our programmers to work together efficiently and turn out programs faster with fewer errors. As we finish logical portions of the project, we have you look it over to make sure it is what you expect. The time required in the programming phase is directly related to the number and complexity of modifications needed. We have had projects with programming time ranging from 4 to 320 hours.
Every programmer is responsible for testing their own programs while they are coding.
Every line of code must be tested. At times, this means forcing error conditions and building datasets. Final program testing is never done by the programmer. Our documentation personnel double as our final testing team. Programmers spend many hours focused on the code they write.
