It's good to write the test before you add a new feature.
●
It's good to write a test as soon as you receive a bug report.
●
It's bad to release code with failing tests.
●
This would seem to be a contradiction.
▶
Either you fix all your bugs and add all your features immediately
▶
Or you comment out your failing tests.
●
Option #3, for the professionally lazy:
▶
Declare your failing tests to be "todo"
●
This allows one to build a test suite without having to fix all the
bugs you find right away.
