in thread Does anybody write tests first?

And if the code (or "method" -- I need to get my OOOrthodoxy checked) isn't called when you use the program, it probably doesn't matter. If you're writing code you don't use, you've got a more serious problem.

    If code isn't called when you routinely use the program, you won't initially find the bug. When the rare case or corner case occurs, though, it'll be a pain in the rear to track that bug down.

    Let's just hope you never have to write a script that does X on weekdays or Y on the weekend, but Z if the date is February 29th ;-)
