Look, programmers the world over hate having to methodically code. At least, they all start out hating it. But it's time to embrace the hate and see how it can help you code more efficiently and with less frustration. Mostly, it'll help you get full points on your assignments.

This video introduces a very simplistic testing strategy that uses "test cases" developed at the beginning of the coding process. Eventually, you'll learn fancy automated ways to test your code, but until then, this approach helps ensure that your code does what you think it does.
