Grrr.  I am a true TDD acolyte.  And I don't do that either.

Seriously?  Oh you humble man.

I have convinced a huge number of people who used to have that sort of
dogma that the reason they advocated such baby steps is that they
didn't have a good coverage tool. ***grin***

TDD is supposed to make you brave, not cowards, and it's
Ned's most excellent tool
http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/
that I recommend to TDD dogmatic cowards.

Even if you don't want to use TTD, you will enjoy Ned's tool.  It's GREAT.
Thank you, Ned.

Laura
