Nice write up Jan. I think the importance of automated testing cannot be stressed enough. You briefly mention it here, but it is worth pointing folks to the the testing pyramid. I see a lot of development teams putting a ton of effort into the top of the pyramid. This is expensive and often times slow. Focusing on the bottom of the pyramid and building out fast and coherent unit tests can really accelerate development.

Hey Kyle,

thanks for your feedback. This is interesting. I actually decided not to look up any existing literature and I haven't read this article of Martin. But I completely agree with the idea of the testing pyramid. Maybe I will add this link and put some more emphasis on it!
