What is your methodology for determining the change in defect rates and code quality?
1 comments

We use Pivotal Tracker, and it's pretty easy to see how many bugs are popping up and how often.

Code quality shows up in your velocity over time. My favorite saying right now is "quality is future speed". We also do regular reviews to assess things like cyclomatic complexity and how well SOLID principles are being followed.

The quantity of bugs popping up and code quality haven't got what I'd call a well-understood relationship. How do you reconcile that?
Interesting. Thank you very much for sharing.
