• How to create automated tests that are easier to write, easier to maintain, and focused on making sure the code-under-test works the way it’s intended to work
• How to write a common automated deployment script that deploys to all target environments
• How to perform meaningful code analysis that gives the kind of information you can take action upon
• Why some best practices, which were once fresh, are now stale; avoid this trap by following best practices grounded in correct principles that endure
• How to gain support for following best practices from all project stakeholders by recognizing and overcoming biases, highlighting gaps, and demonstrating value
