Reactive software maintenance: The silent killer of development managers’ productivity
In modern software development shops, developers have two responsibilities. The first is what they signed up for and love to do — write new code and design and build systems, features, and capabilities. The second is less desirable — maintaining old code, fixing bugs, and writing tests. And this maintenance is becoming an increasing burden, taking valuable time away from development teams to focus on new features and functionalities.
This white paper discusses best practices for approaching code maintenance, which will allow your development team to write more code, improve efficiency, and ultimately get back to what they love about their roles – building new features and driving innovation.
