> get very little value out of the tests I have a bad tendency to over complicate things because I often see many of the potential future complications and other aspects of the larger picture which I really should ignore at that point of writing. In turn a TDD programing approach gives me a nice degree of value at the moment of writing. The larger and more complicate the resulting program will be the more value I get out of it. > think through strengthening the specification. Having a weak/incorrect specification is a very common problem on larger projects especially if the projects are writen by one company for a different company (and just them). Through mutation testing your code won't help there, but similar practices can help in finding gaps and problems with a non-code specification, too.
