- Use automated acceptance tests to focus work on the features that matter
- Write unit tests in the form of executable specifications that help design and implement your software
- Refine and evolve your software design using TDD and refactoring
- Apply OO Design and SOLID principles to write clean, maintainable code
- Write highly readable, highly maintainable code that is a fluent expression of the business domain
