Variable naming conventions

The following rules apply to all types of variables:

• Variable names are in PascalCase
• The name must be self explanatory and express the usage
• Identifiers of entities always have the entity name combined with Id., e.g. CustomerId, Employee_id.
• Dates. For dates, it’s good to describe what the date represents. Names like StartDate and EndDate are pretty descriptive. If you want, you can describe them even more precise, using names like CallStartDate and CallEndDate
• Flags. If we have boolean flags marking if some action took place or not. We prefix the flag with Is e.g. IsActive, IsDeleted

Local variables

• Constants Local variables used as constants (i.e. have a fixed, default value that is not supposed to be changed over their lifetime) have a meaningful name, prefixed by the word Const (e.g. ConstPollingInterval)
