  Years ago I remember reading this manifesto almost about how a company should approach software dev and it was originally on this guy's blog then it became well known and people referred to it as his first name. It was a list of things that healthy dev shops did and you could count up how many your shop did and see how healthy your practices were. I would have sworn it was called the Jared test or something similar but I can't find it on Google to save my life. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or is this some Mandela Effect symptom?

  YES!!! Thank you! Shoot, it was alluding me. My Google searches were not helping me either. Typing software +best practices +test brought back 63 trillion results about testing software. Now I can sleep well tonight. Your contribution to my sanity is greatly appreciated.
