Weave Now or Weave Later: A Test Driven Development Perspective on Aspect-oriented Deployment Models

I Common development practice: make small changes to code, re-compile, run unit tests to verify the changes I Aspect-oriented approaches offer several deployment models: static (compile-time), load-time, and run-time I Static deployment typically induces longer (re-)compile times I Load-time deployment typically induces longer execution times I The impact of the deployment model on the edit+compile+test cycle is not understood: when should you weave?
