Abstract
Code quality is strongly dependent on using best coding practices during it’s development. This paper presents various code quality metrics in object oriented programming and computer tools to it automatic measurement. Two cases of software development by two different teams were considered. Code quality was analyzed in five following program versions. This study shows better value of almost (but not all) code quality metrics developed using agile methodology. It raises the conclusion about agile methodology advantage.
