		<description><![CDATA[The Boy Scouts have a rule: leave the camp cleaner than you found it. This does not mean that all the trash has to be cleaned up now, but you can&#8217;t let it get worse, and it must get at least a little better. In Bob Martin&#8217;s book, Clean Code, he asks, &#8220;What if code [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Embedded software has all the challenges of &#8220;regular&#8221; software, like poor quality and unreliable schedules. It is just software with some additional challenges. The additional challenges do not disqualify TDD for embedded. TDD even helps with some of those uniquely embedded challenges. Leaving embedded out of it for a moment, here are benefits that TDD [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the third in my Deep Agile Embedded Panel Questions series. The question is: We had a team doing agile. To them that included not doing any documentation. We need documentation once we go into maintenance. Is doing documentation allowed in Agile? The short answer is yes. Agile does allow documentation. Do you think [...]]]></description>
