What a Great Wordpress plugin Looks like.

A good Word press plugin must have the following characteristics:

Seamless installation: The plugin must be able to install easily and seamlessly without any trouble. A plugin is as good as it can be installed into the system, if anyone finds the installation to be very complicated; there is a chance that he/she would not use the system at all. Many Wordpress plugins are very good as far as features go, but are bad in installation.

One step un-installation: A user must be able to remove the software as easy as he/she was able to install it. Un-installation is as much important as installation, a user might need to replace your plugin with something else the same developer develops, and then the main problem would be to easily un-install the plugin without affecting any other program.

Easy Upgrade of the plugin: A plugin would need updates to keep it running smoothly. A good plugin must be able to upgrade without troubling the user in any ways. Most software, however simple or complex it is needs constant upgrades to make it more stable and secure. Upgrades can also add features and options into the existing set to make the plugin more interesting and useful.

Localization and local language support for the administrator: Every administrator would not understand English and would require some language support to use the interface of the plugin; a plugin should be able to provide this feature.

Easy error recovery: A plugin must be able to easily recover from different errors and come back to normal. These are function specific software components and an administrator cannot risk a system going down without any fair chance of retrieval.

Import/Export options: A good import and export option is necessary. This helps in porting a plugin from one system to another. Import and export option make sure that transporting and implementing your system from one place to the other is easy. It gives the administrator the flexibility to shift from different architectures and systems.

Intuitive user interface: A good interface is required to make the administrator work on the system easily. A good interface is a paramount requirement for a good Wordpress plugin.

Secure plugins: A good plugin must be unbreakable. It must not make the system weak.

Keep track of changes: A good plugin must be able to keep track of the changes to the plugin and update when necessary.

Good documentation and support: A good documentation is necessary to make the administrator understand the plugin well.

There are several other things that you can look for but the ones mentioned above are some of the most critical ones.
