This Chapter's ACIs
| ACI | Name | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| ACI-016 | See It Go Red | A passing check is evidence only if it could have failed. Take the fix away and name the tests that go red. |
| ACI-017 | A Measurement Is a Claim About a Population | A count is a population, a definition and a unit. Calibrate a zero, count whole outputs, and measure what the user sees. |
| ACI-018 | The Short Way Wins | When the right check costs more keystrokes, the wrong one wins. Make the correct form the short one. |
| ACI-019 | Prove the Reversal First | Outside the repository there is no revert. Prove the undo first, or hand the step to the human. |
