 > We won't have time to add tests before deploying, because, erm, it's
 deployed as of 60 minutes ago.  And I guess I should push what I'm
 running, in particular as it didn't break.  Unless I shouldn't?!

 Well, if its running it should be committed, so we know what is running.
 Not breaking doesn't necessarily mean 'working as expected' to me. (I hope
 it does here.)

 > But we can always add more tests going forward.  How about we do that
 together with the other bridgedescs module tests that I wrote on some
 other ticket?

 Yes, that would be very good and sort of the only type of documentation
 for that code.
 Of course, the code itself tells something, but often it does not exactly
 what was expected by the author.  These tests will also reduce maintenance
 time a lot in future.
