Current best practice for producing high quality software is Test-Driven Development.

These practices can be applied to RPG development on IBM i.

The end result is software where every single line is covered by an automated test and can easily be regression tested on every build of your deliverable.

Tools such as RPG Unit and RDi can be used to support this process and make it easier and more enjoyable.
