Writing a test that Makes It Fail repeatedly not only allows you to see the failure more easily as it occurs, but also allows you to prove you've fixed the bug after you think you have. I'd check out the book, it covers all this and more, and it's a quick, fun read. But, I'm biased, I wrote it. :-) The website listed above has reviews and a link to Amazon. It's less than $17.
