TDD or POUT

Because Unit Testing is the plain-Jane progenitor of Test Driven Development, it's kind of unfair that it doesn't have an acronym of its own. After all, it's hard to get programmer types to pay attention if they don't have some obscure jargon to bandy about. UT is too awkward, besides being a state abbreviation in the U.S., so for this post (and, if it catches on, future posts as well) I'll borrow from the telco folks and call unit testing Plain Old Unit Testing.
