No functionality is added early.
Refactor whenever and wherever possible.

Coding

The customer is always available.
Code must be written to agreed standards.
Code the unit test first.
All production code is pair programmed.
Only one pair integrates code at a time.
Integrate often.
Use collective code ownership.
Leave optimization till last.
No overtime.

Testing

All code must pass all unit tests before it can be released.
When a bug is found tests are created.
Acceptance tests are run often and the score is published.
