'''Best coding practices''' for software development can be broken into many levels based on the coding language, the platform, the target environment and so forth. Using [[best practice]]s for a given situation greatly reduces the probability of introducing errors into your [[Application software|applications]], regardless of which [[software development]] model is being used to create that application.
 
There are standards that originated from the intensive study of industry experts who analyzed how bugs were generated when code was written and correlated these bugs to specific coding practices. They took these correlations between bugs and coding practices and came up with a set of rules that when used prevented coding errors from occurring. These standard practices offer incredible value to software development organizations because they are pre-packaged automated error prevention practices; they close the feedback loop between a bug and what must be done to prevent that bug from recurring.
