Report highlights

Key findings

Four highlights from the evidence comparison of rated software factories against seven criteria. Each finding links into the full report; the assessment method explains how ratings were produced and the criteria define what was judged.

Finding 01

Writing code and documents is only part of the work. Readers also need the full agreed design for each version. They need test results for delivered code. They need records of what shipped and who approved it.

Finding 04

An automatic check does not always stop delivery when it fails. Teams must set when it runs and what failure blocks.
