I do this too, except I call it a "rope bridge". Write the simplest thing possible, even if it doesn't do everything you need, and then start iterating. The rope bridge will quickly become much more solid.
The danger is that you leave the solution at too early a stage, and other things start relying on your flimsy rope bridge. It gets really difficult to go back and do things better.

- GhotiFish 14y agoIn my experience the tests work pretty well, as well. and if you're already developing in a style that is amenable to TDD, you should totally try it!
