Testing Testing 123 (test driven development)
by Kelly Waters
XP (eXtreme Programming) advocates Test Driven Development, where test cases are written before the code. Radical, huh?If you think about it, it makes complete sense.

If you know how you’re going to test it, you write the code to pass first time! Simple really. Simple but inspired.
