In the first article in this series, Test-Driven Development with Python, Part 1, I started to build an event tracking application using the principle of test-driven development. Before writing any new code or making changes to any existing code, I wrote a failing test first. When the new test started passing, I stopped and moved on. It's a simple technique, but requires discipline in order to apply it successfully.
