BEST PRACTICE KEY CONCEPTS

• Evaluation determines how well a concept works and guides its optimization. Evaluation is the culmination of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Since the design specifications' targets and thresholds are numerical values, TDD requires the product to be refined sufficiently to make numerical comparisons to them physically or analytically.
• Care must be taken with analysis tools: the results are only as good as the user’s knowledge of the tools, the values input, and the underlying physics.
