# Software Quality Award, 2020 Source: https://www.yegor256.com/2019/11/03/award-2020.html {% badge /images/andreea/quality-award.svg XXL %} This is the _sixth_ year of the [Software Quality Award](/award.html). The maximum prize is still the same---**$4,096**. The rules are still the same. Read on. Previous years are here: [2015]({% pst 2015/apr/2015-04-16-award %}), [2016]({% pst 2015/oct/2015-10-17-award-2016 %}), [2017]({% pst 2016/oct/2016-10-23-award-2017 %}), [2018]({% pst 2017/oct/2017-10-24-award-2018 %}), [2019]({% pst 2018/sep/2018-09-30-award-2019 %}). This year we do it together with [KaiCode](https://www.kaicode.org), sponsored by [Huawei](https://www.huawei.com). The form is now closed. Rules: * One person can submit only one project. * Submissions are accepted until September 1, 2020. * I will check the commit history to make sure you're the main contributor to the project. * I reserve the right to reject any submission without explanation. * All submissions will be published on this page (including rejected ones). * Results will be announced October 15, 2020 on this page and by email (or maybe a bit later). * The best project will receive $4,096 (I may split this amount among a few projects and may give away a smaller amount!). * Final decisions will be made by me and are not negotiable (although I may invite other people to help me make the right decision). * Winners that received any cash prizes in previous years can't submit again. {% youtube Z70PMGaxGhY %} Each project must be: * Open source (in GitHub). * At least 4,096 lines of code ([`cloc`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cloc) without any arguments) _and_ at least 16,384 [hits-of-code]({% pst 2014/nov/2014-11-14-hits-of-code %}). * At least one year old (the age of the first commit). * Object-oriented (that's the only thing I understand). The best project is selected using this [criteria]({% pst 2015/jun/2015-06-08-deadly-sins-software-project %}). What doesn't matter: * Popularity. Even if nobody is using your product, it is still eligible for this award. I don't care about popularity; quality is the key. * Programming language. I believe that any language, used correctly, can be applied to design a high-quality product. * Buzz and trends. Even if your project is yet another parser of command line arguments, it's still eligible for the award. I don't care about your marketing position; quality is all. By the way, if you want to sponsor this award and increase the bonus, [email me](mailto:me@yegor256.com).

https://github.com/ZiyaVakhobov * [`pholser/junit-quickcheck`](https://github.com/pholser/junit-quickcheck) (already won the award in 2016) My hot list is this (I review each of them myself): `coderaiser/cloudcmd` (first review by @razzwan) * Commits are not linked to issues, which makes history hard to track * Release procedure is not automated (I didn't find the script and/or the logs of each release) * Many code comments are written in Russian (WTF?); not every function documented * I'm not sure this really is OOP... I wasn't able to find classes or objects (maybe it's just me) * Test coverage is not visible anywhere (I think it's not under control) `decorators-squad/eo-yaml` (by @iakunin) * Looks cool, no complaints `hdouss/jeometry` (by @iakunin) * Looks cool, no complaints `victorx64/devrating` (by @fellahi-ali) * Looks cool, no complaints It's hard to make the decision. Three projects are very good and they all deserve the prize. 15 Nov 2020: I finally made the decision. This year there are three winners. Each of them gets $1,024.
