I can only recommend to try to always work like that. I know it does not 
sound convincing (you really have to try it out), but I made the experience 
that I get stuff done quicker if I take the tests into account as soon as I 
think imy change might work (which it usually does not do, and the tests do 
usually show where it is broken).

True, but in total it will be even less work if coce and test changes are 
submitted in one go.
