Best Practices

Project Structure

Employing an organized project structure is beneficial to your project and your team.

See the Unity/Assets/ folder for more info.

Scope Includes:

  • Folder Structure
  • Folder Naming
  • File Naming

Benefits:

  • Consistency — The project structure has consistency in presentation regardless of team location, spoken language, or individual programmers.
  • Maintenance — Consistent project structure will aid readability. Readability helps new and existing programmers revisit the code base for fixes and improvements.
  • Communication — Developers more implicitly understand each other in written and verbal communication.

Coding Standards

Coding standards define a programming style.

See the Unity/.../Templates/ folder for more info.

Employing organized coding standards is beneficial to your project and your team.

Scope Includes:

  • Naming Conventions
  • File Naming and Organization
  • Formatting and Indentation
  • Comments and Documentation
  • Classes, Functions and Interfaces
  • Testing

Benefits:

  • Code Integration
  • Team Member Integration
  • Maintenance
  • Uniform Problem Solving
  • Minimizes Communication
  • Minimizes Performance Pitfalls
  • Saves Money Due to Less Man Hours
