[Haskell-beginners] edit-compile-test loop

Hi
I'd like to know what the typical edit-compile-test loop looks like with the
Haskell platform; that is, in C++ this would be edit, run make to compile
everything in the project into  libraries and executables, then run an
executable test suite. I'm confused as to how people work on larger projects
in Haskell - do you work on a single module and load it into ghci to test as
you develop, then compile the entire package and run a test suite? Or do you
generally only use ghci for prototyping and not when in the middle of proper
development? Or do you compile the package and load that into ghci? I'd like
to know as I'm starting to work on patches for some hackage packages which
have proper cabal builds etc., and want to follow the correct (and
efficient!) convention.
Thanks
Tom
