Fair call, the author does just advocate tests before code rather than "tests as thinking". But oh, there are a ton of people who have tried to use tdd as a design process (aka test driven design, as opposed to development, I guess). I tried to pick a representative link here: http://agiledata.org/essays/tdd.html http://agiledata.org/essays/tdd.html "one view of tdd is the goal is specification, not validation", "it's one way to think through your design". It's one position in a spectrum of viewpoints. Here's another article just for fun: http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/test-driven-design/240168102 http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/test-driven-d...
