TDD workflow

• Implement "basic" test cases for new feature. These tests should fail.
• Implement new feature.
• Fix both source code and test cases (test cases are code after all) along with testing.
• When tests pass, add new tests for edge cases.
• Refractor and test continuosly until all test cases pass
