Abstract

KV has talked about various measures of software quality in past columns, but perhaps falling software quality is one of the most objective measures that a team is failing. This Pestilence, brought about by the low morale engendered in the team by War and Famine, is a clear sign that something is wrong. In the real world, a diseased animal can be culled so that disease does not spread and become a pestilence over the land. Increasing bug counts, especially in the absence of increased functionality, is a sure sign of a coming project apocalypse.

Ailing软件项目的四骑士
KV已经在过去的专栏中讨论了软件质量的各种度量,但是可能软件质量下降是团队失败的最客观的度量之一。这场瘟疫是由《战争与饥荒》导致的团队士气低落引起的,这是一个明显的信号,表明有些事情是错误的。在现实世界中,患病的动物可以被宰杀,这样疾病就不会传播,不会成为一种瘟疫。不断增加的bug数量,特别是在没有增加功能的情况下,是即将到来的项目末日的明确标志。
