Testing does not automatically imply automated tests. I do break down problems and follow the same kind of process, yet my goal is less automated testing than it is raw flexibility, ability to recombine pieces of code at will and move fast. Chasing automated tests, even if it supposedly yields this kind of composite constructs is in my opinion taking an interesting side-effect of good craft for an end in itself. Then of course, saying the code can be tested in isolation doesn't imply coding is driven by tests. TDD, in my opinion, like all idols in the history of cults is, as an end, the dawn of critical thinking and progress.
