Interpretation

  • Elevated count may indicate process discipline issues, such as inconsistent or missing code review practices and weak quality control. This can raise concerns about code reliability, increased defect risk, and overall code quality.
  • High volums may also reflect team coordination problems, including poor communication, limited review coverage, and unclear accountability. In some cases, it may signal emergency situations caused by inadequate planning or a reactive development approach.
  • Low count suggest strong quality discipline, with consistent review processes and effective quality control mechanisms. It reflects process maturity, supported by well-established workflows, strong team coordination, and shared accountability.
