Another layer and then debug/ test?  Yikes!


As one of the smartest people I knew put it: "Design from the top down, 
but build from the bottom up".


My software works best if I:

1.  Use a source code version control system and do frequent check-ins.

2.  Divide the functionality into little pieces and test each piece 
individually, then test the first level up (assemblies of pieces), then 
the next layer up (assemblies of assemblies of pieces), and so on up to 
the top-level (user interface).

3. Automate as much as possible -- building, testing, installing, 
packaging, releasing, etc..

p.s.  A digression -- while Bourne/ Bash shell have some very intriguing 
capabilities and both exist almost universally in FOSS realms, nothing 
has held my fascination since I discovered Perl.  Perl does #2 very 
nicely and includes tools and frameworks for #3.  (I use CVS for #1.)
