      <description><![CDATA[<p>
According to <a href="http://techblog.tilllate.com/2008/06/01/unit-testing-makes-coding-more-fun/">a new post</a> on the tilllate blog today, "unit testing makes coding more fun":
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"Unit testing is a test that validates that individual units of source code are working properly", that's what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing">Wikipedia says</a> about unit testing. That's general knowledge.
</p>
<p>
But what motivates me even more than the increased software quality is that it saves me development time. This sounds odd as you might believe that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development">TDD</a> means writing more code.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
A real-life example is included (an internal invoicing system) with the steps they'd follow to test it normally via the browser (slow) or through the automated tests (fast!)
