This process is something that I think would be of great interest to a
variety of teams:

* When to throw away old tests
* When to create new tests (TDD style, before writing the code that
satisfies the test?)
* When to refactor existing tests
* At what point do you make these decisions?

I'd like to encourage you to discuss your approaches along these lines,
because I think it would be of great interest across all the WMF dev teams.
