share your test data for your project

Thought for the day:

Completed projects should always inlcude SQL scripts for creating working test data (i.e. so you can see the code in action).

I often see difficulties creating usable test data when picking up someone else's work.

And I'd add to that, a readme file with how to use the test data.

(short blog post, but too long for a tweet!)
