… Test Driven Development.
I was pulled off developing the next set of features for the application I support to do some urgently required changes on other parts of the application.
I was doing work on this new section, and this morning, have finally got back to the point where I can start work on it again.
So, my first priority is to pick up my old ‘thread’, remember where I was.
So, what do I do?
I run ‘rake test_units’ and look at what pops up.
What does pop up is a single failed test.
Reviewing what that test does shows me exactly where I had got to, and I can now proceed to write the application code to make the test pass, and I am back up and running.
Wonderful.
I do, just LOVE test driven development.
