Once you achieve the right result from the function you are writing, you just add that REPL invocation to your test suite. Then you just re-run your tests from time to time as you change the code further.

A REPL makes writing both code and tests easier.

This is exactly my flow. Get the small snippet/function working in the REPL, copy it into the source....move on.
