Code Checklist Before Scripting As Programmer
If you want your code to be effective, portable and useable by others, then you need to submit it to various checks. The checks themselves don’t have to be industry standard, unless you’re writing code for an App Store, but they do need to identify issues.
PLAN AHEAD
We’ve compiled a brief checklist that you can start using to help you iron out any issues. Then you can ready your code so it’s well on the way to being used elsewhere.
Recent research by the Software Engineering Institute suggested that programmers can make between fifteen to twenty mistakes in their code, and these are experienced coders. The rest of us probably make significantly more as we earn our coding stripes and build our skills.
Therefore, having an effective plan that you can run through once you’ve successfully created a program helps you immensely and ensures that common issues are identified and dealt with. The checklist we’ve created here is merely an example you can use to start with; as you build on your experiences as a coder, and as you stretch your coding skills, you will undoubtedly expand the list to include your own identified checks.
Don’t forget also, to continually add to the last part of the checklist, the Mistakes check. Being able to see your past mistakes helps you form a muscle memory that gets rid of them before the actual checks begin.

Don’t forget also, to continually add to the last part of the checklist, the Mistakes check. Being able to see your past mistakes helps you form a muscle memory that gets rid of them before the actual checks begin.
Make Some Checklist
- Does the code work? Does it perform the intended function?
- Is the code easily understood?
- Have you added comments throughout?
- Can the code work on other operating systems?
- Do all the variables make sense? Are they readable?
- Is outputted sensitive data encrypted?
- Do any third-party utilities require licensing?
- Does the code or program terminate in a suitable fashion for the user?
- Are there any accompanying instructions on how to use the program?
- Have you tested every outcome of the program?
- Is the code as efficient as possible?
- Have you eliminated any performance bottlenecks?
- Mistakes – enter any mistakes you find to help get rid of them next time.
