+## Why refactoring ?
+- Ability to easily add new kind of items(like conjured) 
+- However, without altering the Item class or Items property
+                                                        
+## Requirements
+
+- All items have a SellIn value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the item
+- All items have a Quality value which denotes how valuable the item is
+- At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item
+
+# unit tests
+-[x] At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item
+-[ ] Once the sell by date has passed, Quality degrades twice as fast
+-[ ] The Quality of an item is never negative
+-[ ] "Aged Brie" actually increases in Quality the older it gets
+-[ ] The Quality of an item is never more than 50
+-[ ] "Sulfuras", being a legendary item, never has to be sold or decreases in Quality
+-[ ] "Backstage passes", like aged brie, increases in Quality as its SellIn value approaches;
+-[ ] Quality increases by 2 when there are 10 days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but
+-[ ] Quality drops to 0 after the concert
+-[ ] an item can never have its Quality increase above 50, however "Sulfuras" is a legendary item and as such its Quality is 80 and it never alters.

+## Technical Issues, with a balanced priority
