Quality in Software

Refactoring is often misunderstood; it's crucial to differentiate between true refactoring and mere rework. Quality assurance should be an institutional mindset, embraced by everyone involved in the software development process. When each team member prioritizes quality, it prevents significant issues down the line, highlighting the importance of collective responsibility in maintaining high standards. The concept of the Andon cord serves as a powerful metaphor for empowering all team members to halt progress when quality is at risk.
