- [Instructor] We've been discussing theory and practice of testing and code quality. How does that apply to what you're working on? Let's admit the truth to ourselves. There's no such thing as a perfect codebase. It's okay to say that because software that we're working on is always changing. Improvement is always an option, and I'd like to give you some ways to make it happen. When improving an existing codebase, start off by setting achievable and reasonable goals. Documenting every single function and updating every package in an afternoon, not going to happen. Part of the goals should include metrics.
