Extreme Coding

Some of the ExtremeRules

Code may not be released unless it:

• is formatted to agreed CodingStandards (Kent Beck's SmalltalkBestPracticePatterns is suggested.)
• has been coded by PairProgramming.
• has UnitTests (when a bug is found a test is created to guard against it coming back.)
• has passed all UnitTests at 100%.
• has been checked against the latest base-line. A SingleReleasePoint is recommended.

Code may not be released if it

• was HardToWrite
• Adds Functionality Early (does not DoTheSimplestThingThatCouldPossiblyWork)

Code which breaks these rules must be backed out and redone.
