I like TDD, but it has its place. I think you'll find the rhetoric here is a reaction to the inflammatory tone in the article more than anything else.
It's perfectly possible to develop and maintain large, complex systems without 100% code coverage. Clearly some level of testing coverage between 0% and 100% is optimal. The case for it being 100% is, to my mind, extremely weak.
- tuomas-mbm 16y agoA bit out of topic, but what is it that makes the article to have "inflammatory tone"? Would love to hear some feedback about this too to improve my writing skills.
- ollysb 16y agoIt's effectively said that anyone that doesn't practice TDD isn't professional. Telling people they're unprofessional tends to piss them off :) edit: In response to child post - That was my interpretation of this "It will make our work so much more efficient, motivating and a bit more professional."
- tuomas-mbm 16y agoI have to admit that I have a bad habit to write things a bit extreme way to start a conversation. How ever where did I do such a claim that if one does not do TDD is not professional? It seems that I definitely need to improve my English. :)

- ollysb 16y agoI wouldn't want to maintain a large, complex system without a high coverage percentage. I'd have thought that would seriously hit your velocity.
