@ -25,6 +25,10 @@ All pipeline library coding _must_ come with automated unit tests.
The contract of functionality exposed by a library functionality needs to be documented, so it can be properly used.
Implementation of a functionality and its documentation shall happen within the same commit(s).
### Coding pattern
Pipeline steps must not make use of return values. The pattern for sharing parameters between pipeline steps or between a pipeline step and a pipeline script is sharing values via the [`commonPipelineEnvironment`](../vars/commonPipelineEnvironment.groovy). Since there is no return value from a pipeline step the return value of a pipeline step is already `void` rather than `def`.
### Code Style
The code should follow any stylistic and architectural guidelines prescribed by the project. In the absence of guidelines, mimic the styles and patterns in the existing code-base.
