Etc.
- Give the software to another group that has never seen it and
see how quickly, and how correctly, they understand and can
make changes to it.
- People differ. You may not find that one style is consistently
better for all programmers. Can you find a way to tell which
style is better for a particular programmer to write or for
a particular programmer to read, and use that information in
making your programming and maintenance assignments?
> Does such a study exist? If not, why not?
Perhaps such a study has been conducted, either formally or
informally, and it did not appear there was a large, clear,
benefit to one style or the other, so the decision was made,
either explicitly or implicitly, to leave the choice up to
the particular programmer or team.
