10 Rules isn't going to cut it really, its a lot more detailed than that. Here is the Spark reference manual (a standard for Ada that has been the industrial standard for decades): http://docs.adacore.com/spark2014-docs/html/lrm/


Yeah, the point of these rules (and the 31 JPL rules) is concision. Your programmers will read a 10 page coding standard, and might remember it. Nobody is going to remember hundreds of rules and hundreds of pages. They won't even read it.

In his talks Holzmann always makes the point that a coding standard is a hard sell for most people, and JPL hadn't had any success until they could come up with something simple and concise.
