Code ownership. In software engineering, code ownership is a term used to describe control of an individual software developer or a development team over source code modifications of a module or a product.

Definitions 
While the term is very popular, there is no universally accepted definition of it. Koana et al., in their 2024 literature review, found 28 different definitions, and classified them as follows:
 Psychological ownership is a feeling by the developer of ownership and pride in the particular element of the project;
 Corporeal ownership is a set of formal or informal rules defining responsibility for a particular software piece. The rules depend on the development approach taken by the team, but generally can be partitioned along the lines of "what is being owned?" / "who owns it?" / "what is the degree of control?":
 while the answer to "what?" is typically some part of the source code, the ownership concept have been also applied to other artifacts of the software development as diverse as an entire project or a single software bug;  
 the owner ("who?") might be an individual developer or a group that might include authors of the code, reviewers, and managers. The two extremes are represented by a dedicated ownership with just one developer responsible for any particular piece of code and a collective code ownership, where every member of the team owns all the code;
 the degree of control by an owner can vary from a mandatory code review to responsibility for testing to a complete implementation.

Authorship 
Some researchers also use the term to describe the authorship of software (identifying who wrote a particular line of software). Koana et al. state that this is a different, although related, meaning, as the code owner might not be original author of the software piece.

Influence upon quality 
It is generally accepted that the lack of clear code ownership (usually in the form of many developers freely applying small changes to a shared piece of code) is causing errors to be introduced. At the same time, with no code owner, the knowledge about an artifact can be lost. This is confirmed by large-scale studies, for example, involving Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

Code owners in version control 
Modern version control systems allow explicit designation of code owners for particular files or directories (cf. GitHub CODEOWNERS feature). Typically, the code owner is either receiving notifications for all the changes in the owned code or is required to approve each change.

Shanghai Metro AC04. The 09A01 train (formerly known as AC04 or Movia 456) is a current rolling stock used in Shanghai Metro, which originally ordered for Line 1 extension, but is currently assigned to Line 9 service due to the production discontinued of expansion cars. The trains were developed by Bombardier and built by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles.

The contract for AC04 awarded to Changchun Bombardier Railway Vehicles on 18 December 2002. A total of 60 cars (10 sets) were built and entered service on 14 December 2004. The final train delivered on 22 March 2005.

Overview 
The design of AC04s is similar to A2s and A3s, which are built for Guangzhou Metro. The interior seats are in green. The door indicators are incandescent lamps. The LED display's color was changed from orange to red after the first general overhaul.

AC04 trains were in white and red livery initially. After the service reassignment in 2007, the livery changed into white and light blue colors.

Formation 
AC04s are formed as Tc-Mp-M+Mp-M-Tc, they are numbered 011751-012341 (set 0130–0139). Since AC04s are assigned to Line 9 service, the set numbers changed to 0901–0910.

In 2014, AC04 renamed 09A01.

Post-first general overhaul 
Since 2017, 09A01s' car numbers changed to 090011–090601.

In-operation issue 
09A01s have no external indicator light and the door closing sound is low. After receiving complaints from passengers, the Shentong Metro decided to adjust the volume of the door closing sound.
