I haven't done anything substantial, since I haven't been in a team
programming environment recently. But the first thing you need is a unit
test framework. I've adapted JUnit to use in command line mode for Ada,
but it only works with GNAT, as I needed to use pragma Debug to ensure
that the tests are compiled with assertions enabled. There's probably
some other way to do it that's more portable.

And of course, a copy of Martin Fowler's Refactoring is a very good
idea.
