Unit tests are one approach. How about adding some regression tests
on larger files? When you have output that should be a good idea. We
don't like large datasets in the bioruby tree, but there are two ways
around that - create a special branch on github, or pull the data on
demand (though Naohisa may frown on that). Ask Diana what she has
done.

Diana created a special profiling branch. It was really helpful to
profile.
