| Write the tests first
 |
| </h3>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Writing the tests after the code is a chore. The urge is to rush through it, to finish up and move on. Writing tests
 |
| before the code makes testing part of a positive feedback loop. As you implement more code, you see more tests passing
 |
| until finally all the tests pass and you're done. People who write tests first seem to be more successful, and it takes
 |
| no more time. For more on putting tests first, see <a class="elementLinkWithType" href="./../../../practice.tech.test_driven_development.base/guidances/guidelines/test_driven_development_F581182D.html" guid="_5s_DUJ03EdyQ3oTO93enUw">Guideline: Test Driven Development</a>.
