Interesting article, but the author seems to assume that unit testing == TDD. I think weirdness of "write your tests first" is one reason people initially resist writing tests ("I can't do exploratory programming!")
I write lots of unit tests (and find lots of value in writing them), but I only do TDD about half the time. Generally, when I am writing a new feature, I write my tests after it's reasonably stable. However, when fixing bugs, I usually do TDD.
- jamongkad 18y ago" I think weirdness of "write your tests first" is one reason people initially resist writing tests ("I can't do exploratory programming!")" That is one of my main gripes with Unit Testing and it still is. Similar to you I practice TDD like what? not even half the time? Well nowadays I do. But I have to practically force myself to do it. Perhaps give or take a few years I'll have it ingrained in muscle memory.
