    This definition of &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{3EDA30A8-932C-4EC2-B9AB-A840304C5BC1}&quot;>Production Code&lt;/a>&#xD;
    encompasses hand-coded software as well as executable models. The &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{3EDA30A8-932C-4EC2-B9AB-A840304C5BC1}&quot;>Production Code&lt;/a> must be kept clean and simple, as it is the main&#xD;
    vehicle for communicating design intent to the programming team. The code has comprehensive customer and unit tests.&#xD;
    The XP practices of simple design, pair programming, refactoring, collective code ownership, test driven development,&#xD;
    and coding standard support the creation of the code.&#xD;

    In XP, we consider &lt;a class=&quot;PresentationName&quot; guid=&quot;{3EDA30A8-932C-4EC2-B9AB-A840304C5BC1}&quot;>Production Code&lt;/a> to be&#xD;
    the most important artifact. It is the one design artifact that cannot be replaced because it is the only complete and&#xD;
    unambiguous expression of design intent. Source code is a specification. It, along with a compiler or interpreter,&#xD;
    encompasses all of the semantics necessary to produce a running process on a computer.&#xD;
&lt;/p></purpose>
