koodiarvustusi

Koodiarvustus is a method of rating or evaluating software, especially for open-source projects. It involves the analysis and assessment of a program's quality, reliability, and other attributes in a quantifiable manner. The process is often done by experts or enthusiasts who voluntarily contribute their time and expertise to provide an objective evaluation.

The purpose of koodiarvustus is to help assess the maturity and maintainability of a software project, making it easier to understand the current state and potential future development needs. It often involves evaluating various factors, such as complexity, maintainability, testability, and scalability, among others. By having a more structured understanding of a project's overall health, developers and maintainers can prioritize development tasks, identify potential risks, and make informed decisions.

One common approach to koodiarvustus is through the use of checklists, which evaluate various attributes and resulting scores. The evaluation results can be presented in a digital format, highlighting areas that need improvement and providing ideas for future development.

In the context of the Estonian IT community, koodiarvustus has gained popularity as a means to support open-source projects and foster collaboration among developers. However, the same principles can be applied to software development projects worldwide.

Part of a project's koodiarvustus can, but does not have to be publicly made visible to support for visibility for improvement. As the information and process are evolving, best practices for koodiarvustus and formulas for scores are subjects of debate among developers involved in the process.
