Alberto Savoia talks shop about CRAP — the Change Risk Analysis and Predictions metric

According to Alberto Savoia, 80 percent of developers spend most of their career working on other people’s code — and a depressing percentage of that code is crappy! In his interview with code quality evangelist Andrew Glover, Savoia reveals the thinking behind the C.R.A.P. metric, and also explains what you can do with the new Crap4j plugin for Eclipse.

What do you think of the C.R.A.P. metric? Will you (or have you) run Crap4j on your code? Listen to this engaging discussion between two code quality specialists, then let’s hear your thoughts!
