I am surprised this article exists, but then I noticed it is from 2014. TDD is not a magic bullet, but the moment I have ventured into codifying a critical part of business logic, I have written test first. Not always unit tests, many times an integration test. But the confidence I get when adding/modifying things around that business logic is just mind-blowing.

Wouldn't you get that same confidence if you wrote verification tests instead of tests first?

  Actually writing tests before means I'm asking myself what I want to achieve. While verification test is more like saying that whatever the output is, that's the right thing.
