Coding Standards

Lyon Technologies, Inc. adheres to a strict set of coding standards throughout our application development. For the .NET® environment, we use the standards published and recommended by Microsoft. These standards address items from variable naming conventions to error raising guidelines.

Implementing and using coding standards throughout a software development project has many benefits, including:

• Increasing product reliability.
• Increasing code portability and ease of maintenance.
• Increasing programmer productivity.
• Reducing development and support costs.
• Reducing learning curves for maintenance developers.
• Accelerating code reviews, as code is easily "read" by the entire audience.

When you hire a vendor to develop an application for you, it is recommended that you ask the vendor how coding policies are implemented within the company.
