Best Practices

Hi all,

I am working right now as a dual master student in a consultancy in an IT projec. It is the first IT project of this consultancy and we are facing a lot of difficulties, challenges and bugs... A lot of them.... That got me thinking, how we could improve the coding process. So, I would like to write my master thesis about Poka Yoke in software development. My main focus will be coding, nevertheless I would like to take a look on all components (requirements, testing etc.) In addition to the literature I have, I would be interested in how far you have already had contact with this topic and could tell me about your experiences. First things that came into my mind regarding Poka Yoke methods were e.g. pair programming, automated testing, AI coding... 

Do you maybe have some good literature to recommend?

I'm thankful for every answer :)
