I am currently doing a small solo project and I test what ever code i have just written. If I later use the code with another piece of code I test it as well and make sure it is working as it should be.

So the idea is to not do extensive testing at the end of the project. I really don't want to use some testing methodology as its just an one person project.

Do you think this is a good idea? And if there is a name for such a kind of testing can you tell me what it is??
Thanks

That makes sense, especially if the tests are automated and repeatable. One school of thought is that you should even take this a step further and write the tests before you write the code.
