Most of the code is written in C. We also use Python, Perl, Tcl, Java script and C++.We are working with continues Improvements and one area where we want to raise the focus is in code quality.The only measurement we have today is bugs found during test, that means that the quality measurements will automatically show better result if we stop the testing. We would like to better understand our code quality and what risks we are up to by start measuring.Thesis Assignment:What is good code quality and how to measure?Define the Definition of code quality for InfineraWhich are the key aspects of good code quality (reliability, maintainability etc)?How can code quality be measured? Which metrics should be used? Is there a standard or de facto way to measure?What tools are available for static code analysis, memory management, profiling etc?Benchmark: How is others measuring code quality, Infinera sites and the SW development industry?Define limits for the metrics that are suitable for Infinera.Are there different metrics for different programming languages? Implement a code quality measurement strategy Implement the way how to measure (using Jenkins) Identify risks from the result Suggest one or a few areas to improve Refactor one or a few areas that needs to be improvedRequired backgroundMaster’s degree from Computer Science or equivalentProgramming skills.
