What influences the quality of code produced by a programmer? - a few things we forget about

The article 'The Epistemology of Software Quality' by Steve Nuttall explores the complex nature of quality in software development. The author begins by discussing how quality is often interpreted in various ways, depending on the perspective of the evaluator. He mentions that software quality is not merely a technical specification but is strongly connected to user needs and business objectives. The modern approach to quality requires an understanding of the context in which a product is used, which presents challenges for engineering teams in terms of testing and validation. Nuttall emphasizes the importance of collaboration between developers and stakeholders to gain a full picture of quality that considers different aspects of the project. The article concludes with a reflection on the future of software quality, where the role of epistemology becomes increasingly crucial in shaping better practices within the industry.
