Teams, not individuals, build most software systems. The organization of these teams thus strongly impacts the software they build.
This is old news. For example, Conway’s law illustrates that the architectural decomposition of a system into components happens along communication structures [1]. Naggapan’s study on bug data from Windows Vista shows that organizational structure is a significant predictor for fault proneness [2].
These empirical results resonate with my own experience. Often, the problems our static code analyses reveal in a code base are symptoms of underlying organizational problems. The larger the organizational problems, the bigger their impact on code quality.
Unfortunately, on this level of abstraction, this insight is pretty useless, since it is too abstract to be operationalized in a project context. To make it applicable, I want to boil it down to a single aspect in this article: reuse. From my experience, it is one of the code characteristics that reveals most about collaboration between teams.

We have had countless discussions about code clones with the teams responsible for their maintenance. These teams generally accept that some of the clones in their software are the product of copy & paste. In many cases this is obvious, since the clones share some quirks that can only be plausibly explained by copy & paste (e.g. identical typos in comments).
One hypothesis that comes up time and again, however, is that some or many of the clones were not created by copy & paste, but instead were written independently and then evolved into the same form.
This hypothesis reminds me of convergent evolution, where environmental factors drive independent evolution of similar traits in species whose ancestors do not show those traits. For example, both pill bugs and pill millipede have evolved similar defenses, and consequently look similar, but belong to different branches of

A fundamental challenge when introducing reviews is that reviewing code is hard. This post summarizes our practices to nevertheless make life for a reviewer as easy as possible.

Reviews point out problems in somebody’s work. Unfortunately, both giving and receiving criticism can be hard. To successfully introduce reviews, we must overcome this resistance. Since finding (and later removing) problems is the primary goal of reviews, this challenge is inherent—no review process can avoid it. We can, however, make receiving review results much easier. This post describes two simple but effective practices we use in our code reviews.

The primary purpose of automated tests is to reveal regression bugs. But how can we tell how well a test suite does this? Code coverage measurement is often used to assess tests in practice. But what does it really tell? We analyzed a set of open-source projects to find out and came up with a clear answer. This post summarizes our findings.
