Notes

before writing code, put in place some means of verifying that the code is correct, or at least have an idea of what you'll do.

Write Code That Works by Reid Burke

Notes

If you’re writing tests for code that’s rapidly changing, you’re going to spend more of your time writing tests instead of shipping features. For code that’s brand new, I typically only test-first a small amount of code and wait a while before hitting that green bar on a code coverage report.
