Precisely. This is something that I have plans on implementing, but obviously I don't have the whole day 24/7 to manage this repo man. I'm doing other things right now (work), that's why I took so long to even answer the initial comments in this thread.

Tests and behavior should be defined before the code.

I recommend you comment out all code, write the tests and then un-comment the code line by line.

This not only tests the code, but tests the tests and assures that you are covering the edge cases the code contains already.

Update: Unit tests are now a convention.
