Introduction

Software coding standards are language-specific programming system that greatly decrease
the probability of introducing errors keep on your applications, regardless of which software
development model (iterative, waterfall, and so on) is being used to create that application.
Software coding standards originated from the intensive learn of industry experts who analyzed
how bugs were generated when code was written and connected these bugs to specific coding
practices. They took these correlations between bugs and coding practices and came up with a set
of rules that when used prevent coding errors from occurring. Coding standards offer incredible
value to software development organizations because they are pre-packaged automated error
prevention practices; they close the criticism loop between a bug and what must be done to
prevent that bug from reoccurring.

In a squad environment or group collaboration, coding standards ensure uniform coding practices,
reducing oversight errors and the time spent in code reviews. When work is outsourced to a
third-party contractor, having a set of coding principles in place ensures that the code produced
by the contractor meets all quality guidelines mandated by the client company. Coding Standards
are not merely a way of enforcing naming conventions on your code.
