• Exploring CLI Best Practices, by Kevin Deisz. There are many articles about this topic online. This one is a good place to start because the author gives you a numbered list of pretty straight-forward general principles to work with. You can stop reading after principle #12, since the rest is less generally about the topic at hand.
• Here's another solid article: Best Practices Building a CLI Tool for Your Service, by Adam DuVander
• Read the Wikipedia article on Test-Driven Development (TDD). The core idea here is very simple, but as you'll see from the Wikipedia article, it has accumulated a lot of formalism. Read from the beginning up through the "Limitations" section.
