xssnark:

For production deployments, I've been toying around with having the script automatically run the test suite any time the script is newer than the name of the test script. So when I modify a program or module, it will automatically run the test suite. Only after I'm satisfied with my changes do I touch the test script. If I accidentally make a change without updating my test script, I'm immediately alerted by the fact that it runs the test suite. (Note: my toy scripts that I've been experimenting with don't prevent the script from running, it just runs the test suite before normal operation.)
