               Benefit: Simpler, cleaner designs result in code that is simpler, cleaner, and easier to test and rework.
              
3. Implement Best Practices, Follow Design Patterns & Principles, Increase Reusability
               Impact on Quality: Improves Quality and Performance
               Benefit: Decreases unexpected bugs. Best Practices and Design Principle improves skills, reduces waste and improves quality. Fast development & thus Developers/Managers could give more time about Quality and user experience.
              
4. Test Smarter to Test Less & Optimize the Use of Testing Tools
               Impact on Quality: Reduce defects.
               Benefit: A focus at risk areas on testing the most crucial. Automation frees resources from mundane testing to focus on the highest-priority tests and increases test cycles' repeatability.
