Here's an interesting idea that makes a lot of sense. Keith Ray's blog entry on the subject is insightful, and it has a nice description of what TDD actually is.

Having an automatable test suite up front makes a huge difference in how quickly you can get everything working ~right~ and how fast you can make major changes later. If you've never tried TDD, try it out with a small project. It's amazing how much code worked almost (but not quite) the way you thought it did.
