That sounds wonderful with one little caveat: I've discovered that if I separate tests from the code in any way shape or form, clients say "let's save some money by skipping those tests". Instead of trying to justify the tests, I don't mention tests at all (unless they ask) and just turn in my code with a full test suite. Since I get done on time, there's never been a problem with that route.

Aside from that, I think next time I might try the milestone route (or "deliverables", as dragonchild puts it). I currently create full estimates and now tha I look at them, my task breakdowns seem to fit milestones quite nicely.

Cheers,
