Creating the interface for a Web site is not always an easy task. Besides the questions of size and colours, you have to deal with many technologies like HTML, JavaScript or CSS style sheets, without taking into account specific languages like Flash. Then you have to find a solution that will be acceptable on different browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Safari) across different versions. The resulting code is not always pretty, furthermore if for earlier versions of your Web site you used some generators and you did not bother to control the generated code.

Like many agile software development teams, our team writes tests for each feature before the feature is actually developed. We’ve found many advantages to using tests to drive development, not only at the unit test level but at the functional, system and acceptance test levels. Not only do we have tests which show whether we’ve delivered the correct functionality, but we benefit from increased communication and collaboration, increasing the chances that we will deliver exactly what our customers want. Writing just the right amount of tests and level of detail has proved difficult at times, as has the automation and timing of the automation effort. The effort to overcome those problems has paid off and led us to devote even more resources to driving development with customer tests.
