Developers checklist

When we buy anything from store, we check the product 1-2 times to ensure that the product is as per our needs. We do the test run of the product and if we find any defect, we will not only take it but will also give low ratings and bad reviews.

But when it comes to software development, how can we forget that the functionality we develop will also be tested by millions of users out there? They can also leave bad reviews and ratings on the company or developer who has developed the portal.

Hence as developer, we need to have a basic checklist which will help us to write better quality code and helps us not to miss few basic things. Below are few points which will help the developer  during development.

  • Is the feature developed as per the specifications given?
  • Will my code pass through all the test cases? Write test cases and execute them.
  • Will my code covered all the use cases? Identify the use cases and test them.
  • Is my code written as per the standards? 
  • Will my code work in all browsers?
