Also have not seen it mentioned, if I need to test some logic specifically I put it seperately, test only that function and then compile just that. (like in its own project) - consider it like little tiny testbeds to test certain functions etc
If that works then I move on to implementing into main branch, here you just will need to wait I am afraid and then see what you just broke 
Also before I forget - there is RECODE, I am using that with CRY and saves a lot of time. Google it.
