There is a very famous saying by Zeno of Citium; “We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.” Exactly, we applied this to our project. We open up our project idea to our batch. This open up for massive flow of ideas for the project. Every small idea, criticism, opinion or suggestion was a plus point for us. Many interested people came and gave us suggestions in order to improve our software.
It helped us to continually evolve the system since many add ideas to it and suggest modification for it, which means it can be better quality and more secure and less prone to bugs than developing it alone, because it has so many viewers poring over it and weeding out problems.
It was easy for us since we were building our system to a competition. But when it comes to professional software development if it is not an open source project it is not appropriate to open up that to wider audience. But it is important to the in-house developers who are working for the same project to share their knowledge and opinions. That helps to develop a better quality software.
