Code Simplicity

If you're using test-driven development, don't measure unit test code coverage. To improve code and test practices. Pairing and mobbing enhance the self-discipline on your team. So instead, nurture a habit of adding tests as part of working on any code. Whenever a bug is fixed, add a test first.

According to Dave Farley it’s a common mistake he sees for teams to adopt user stories effectively. The reasons we want to make the stories small are plentiful; it’s easier to manage, implement, fix, deploy, and test… just about anything we do as a software development team. We, the developers, got some value from it.
