Hands-On Software Engineering with Golang

Build in quality

One of the primary reasons for project delays is undoubtedly the accumulation of defects. Defects have a definite impact on the development team's velocity as members often need to pause their current work to chase down and fix potentially field-critical bugs that were introduced by a previous development iteration.

The lean model prompts engineering teams to aggressively focus on following agile practices such as test- or behavior-driven development (TDD/BDD) in an attempt to produce lean, well-tested code with fewer defects. The benefits of this recommendation have also been corroborated by research that's been performed by Turhan and others ^[13].
