Making Quality a Deliverable in Eclipse-Base Java Development

How do you know when the quality of your Java software needs improvement? You must have definitive standards and metrics, consistently applied, to make this judgment. Treat quality as a deliverable, establishing thresholds against which your organization must measure up prior to each release.  For example, require the use of JUnit tests and use code coverage to determine where testing needs to be improved. Decide too if code can be released with high or medium-severity audit violations.

Once standards are set and adequate testing is in place, how do you know if your efforts are effective?  By applying the same standards and metrics over time, observing and recording trends, you can produce more consistent results and increase the return on investment of your software development.
