Here are some of the performance factors and the parameters one can provide to have an objective performance evaluation of software developers in an organization :

Cut & Paste does not define reusability), Adherence to process

These parameters are more of process measures and NOT result/performance measures. They are good for measuring at the time of hiring process or during project allocation process.

It's high time that HR community wakes upto biz realities and align ourselves. Any such process gaps (the parameters defined below) should immediately be fixed and not wait till the time the performance reviews happen.
