Characterising code quality is a challenge that was addressed by Börstler et al. 's working group in 2017. As emerged from their study, educators, developers and students have different perceptions of the manifold aspects involved, and a major conclusion of that WG was that "code quality should be discussed more thoroughly in educational programs" [2, p. 70]. However, the lack of materials and the time constraints have slowed down progress in that regard.
