1) Initialize source control repository
2) Start a timer for 2 minutes
3) Write exactly one failing test
a) Timer rings, the test is red, then revert and go to 2)
b) The test is green before the timer rings, then commit
4) Restart timer
5) Refactor
a) Timer rings, the refactoring is incomplete then revert and restart
b) The refactoring is complete before the timer rings, then commit
and go to 4) or to 2)
Obs.
The timers must run continuously, don't stop to talk! www.mozaicworks.com
