Tip #1: Automate
Unit tests give early feedback
Manual testing is not repeatable
Automation saves us time and gives us repeatability

Tip #2: Run tests in automatic build process
Use an automated build process that runs the tests
Read the test report
Tests are pieces of information
They should help in fixing the bugs quickly

Tip #3: Use the right tools
Unit testing is a multi faceted process and requires multiple tools

Mocking tools
Isolator for .Net
Isolator++ for C++ on Windows and Linux

Spell checker for tests
Test Lint
Management decision tool
TeamMate

Tip #4:Give Test Driven Development a try
TDD is a complete change of thought
Makes you think before you code
Prevents bugs by thinking!

Tip #5:Don’t get discouraged
It’s a tough process
Works well when there’s a champion
Armadillo helps in bug prevention
Trades usability and productivity for control and specification
