Development & Releases covers the following sub-focus areas-

### Tools & Technology&#x20;

Providing developers with the necessary software tools, frameworks, and technologies to facilitate their work in creating and deploying software solutions&#x20;

### Code Reviews&#x20;

Evaluating code changes for quality, adherence to standards, and identifying issues to enhance software quality and promote collaboration among developers.&#x20;

### Code Health&#x20;

Involves activities like code refactoring, performance optimization, and enforcing best practices to ensure code quality, maintainability, and efficiency, thereby enhancing the developer experience and software longevity.&#x20;

### Frictionless Releases&#x20;

Streamlining software deployment through automation, standardized procedures, and effective coordination, reducing errors and delays for a seamless and efficient process that enhances the developer experience.

Typo bases this calculation on developers' responses to questions about development & releases such as "How well does your team address the issues identified during code reviews?", "How frequently do you experience smooth releases without bottlenecks?". Note - Each survey comprises unique questions and does not repeat any questions from previous surveys.
