Code Quality Management Flashcards

This flashcard set covers code quality management, the set of practices teams use to keep software readable, correct, maintainable, and secure over time. It moves from core ideas such as what quality means and why it matters, through coding standards, peer review, static analysis and metrics, and finally testing and continuous quality practices. Each group builds on the one before it, so the early cards give vocabulary that the later cards put to work.

To study effectively, read each question and answer aloud, then explain the idea in your own words before checking the answer. Pay attention to the reasons behind each practice, since exam questions and workplace decisions often turn on trade-offs rather than memorized definitions. Try to connect cards across groups, for example by asking how a review checklist supports a coding standard or how a metric signals where tests are needed. Review the full set in several short sessions instead of one long sitting, and revisit cards you miss until the explanations feel natural.
