snapshot test driven development again. i already wrote a similar answer in response to your other comment.

it follows the definition of TDD and it works really well (with some caveats) but again some people get hung up on what their impression of TDD is (e.g. unit tests checking to see if a car object has a steering wheel or whatever...) rather than what it actually is and what about it is that actually works.

How does snapshot do "feels right" from designer point of view?
Um, show the snapshot to a designer? When it feels right, lock in the snapshot ("green") and then move on to refactor.

Or, probably more likely a group of snapshots.
