Consolidate "coding," "testing," and "documenting" into a single term

The three main functions of programming, coding, testing, and documenting can be a "mouthful" when spoken together.  This can be clumsy when done so on a regular basis.  In en effort to simplify matters and to "follow suit" with so many other aspects of the development world, the abbreviation CTD may be appropriate. Like so many other abbreviations (also known as acronyms), this term could be used as a verb as well.  "Thanks Bill, I'll get back to CTDing now."  Of course, the assumed redundancy is noted when used in this manner.  Meaning that, if the use of CTD in its expanded form stands for code-ing, test-ing, and document-ing, then CTD-ing is assumed to be compounding the "-ing" ending in each of the individual words as well.  For simplicity's sake, just let it stand as "CTDing."
