My take (Score:1)

Something like this:
1. Mature supporting infrastructure.
2. Coding skills of team members.
3. Quality of project management.
4. Non-rushed deadline.
5. Clean, well-organized code.
6. Choice of framework or tools (aside from language).
7. Choice of implementation language.
8. Good (and plentiful) hardware.
9. Good documentation.
Notice how I sneakily expanded "just tests" to encompass the whole concept of supporting tools, e.g. automated tests, version control, continous integration, etc.

Project size would also belong somewhere near the top of the list.

Item 0: Competent, clued in people who reflect upon what they do.

From that, all else follows.
