I'm a *HUGE* fan of automated testing.   It really helps catch stupid 
errors quickly without a lot of tester time.

The ideal would be a mix of unit-testing code and system testing using a 
GUI tester.   I must admit that I have absolutely no experience with 
unit testing Mono-code.

I'd hope that there is an equivilent to Boost's unit test code or JUnit 
for mono.  If so, we should consider using it.

I've experimented with 'test driven development', where you write the 
tests first, and then implement the code, on a few small projects, and 
it worked pretty well.   Never tried it on anything on the scale of 
f-spot, though...
