Robustness
We expect software to work but it still misbehaves a lot. I care about systematic improvements to the robustness of systems. Feel free to take a look on GitHub.
Ease of maintenance
Maintenance accounts for more than half of the cost of the software engineering process. Optimising the ease of maintenance can have a significant impact on the cost of maintaining the system.
Automation
Removing human involvement in a system is a great way to increase reliability and decrease costs. This is why we build software in the first place. When it comes to maintenance, however, automation is often overlooked.
