Pop up to the top of the site to read about Extreme Programming, which
is what got me started on this.  Or pick up Kent Beck's "Extreme
Programming Explained".

The idea behind the package, which is a clone of similar packages done
for other languages, is to allow quick and convenient unit test
development and use while developing your production code.  With
sufficent unit tests in place, you can modify software to keep it clean
and enhance it with more confidence than you could otherwise.  Yes, I
know tests don't prove that sw is defect-free, if anyone is about to
raise that one.  It's just another tool in the box.
