Note that we could have developed our contracts in a test-driven way, by first defining the expected behavior of our contracts, writing an initially-failing test to test that behavior, and then writing code to allow the test to pass. In our case, we haven't done this, but Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a popular option for developers using the Truffle framework.
