As a discipline - work out what we want to test, write the test, watch
it fail, make it pass - I find this a very productive way to think and
work.
Warning:
It can be seductively addictive and lead to very bad code structure.
You start focussing on just passing the test rather than the overall
structure and design of the solution. Make sure that once it passes
the tests you go back and refactor the code to be clean and maintainable.
Then test it again of course!
