[Tutor] Do you use unit testing?

[Stephen Nelson-Smith]

Great question,

I learned TDD with PyUnit, but since moved to using Ruby, and have
been spoilt by rspec and even cucumber.  My instincts are to write
things test first, but so far I'm not finding PyUnit easy enough to
get going.

Once I get into the groove, I find it's a wonderful way to work - and
avoids some of the drivel I've come up with in the last few days.

As a discipline - work out what we want to test, write the test, watch
it fail, make it pass - I find this a very productive way to think and
work.
