"Copy and Paste Programming" - the TDD way.
Setting the scene...
You are building your second large TDD project for a new client. Some of the requirements are almost identical to the last TDD project. Management is aware of this and expects some form of code reuse to occur that will save budget and time.

Today, I installed CruiseControl.NET for a dabble - my last experience was many moons ago - when SourceGear Vault support was still a do-it-yourself affair.
