How to convince my boss to improve code quality?
- by Vimvq1987
The place I'm working for is a service provider. We have a lot of services, which are written to deal with deadline, so their code are really terrible:
No coding convention, everyone codes in his own style
No unit testing (which is really bad)
No refactoring (which is truly worse)
No automation build/deployment
etc
and these code are used again and again, so bad code continue to spread all over my department.
I really want to set up a standard quality for our code, by requiring everyone to follow "rules": every line of code which does not follow convention will be rejected, and every function of code which does not pass unit testing will not be committed,...But I don't know how to convince my boss to allow me to do this. I'm relatively new comer, so inspiring people from my works is really hard, and I think it's easier if my boss support me to this.
Thank you very much for your advices
