I've been wondering about that--in such a case, do you write a test For the bug (passes if it hits) or For the Solution to the bug? I'm thinking the former, and then just Reverse it when it's fixed (passes when the fixed code runs right.)

Thanks for the comment.

    I write the test so it fails when the bug exists and keeps failing until I fix it. If you don't want it to show up for some period of time, mark it TODO.

      I want to second this. It's very important to write a test that can replicate the bug before fixing it.
