I use a combination of TDD and long conversations with myself. Here is my algorithm in the form of a checklist: CHECKLIST FOR CODING [ ] Is there a conversation with self about this program? [ ] Is there a user scenario that has been customer validated? [ ] Does the conversation describe the user scenario that does not work? [ ] Does the conversation describe the user interface that the scenario needs? [ ] Does the conversation describe the API that the user interface needs? [ ] Does the program contain tests for this new API?
