I don't see people commenting on this one! That may be a good thing because it means people are not questioning it :)
- l0b0 5y agoTechniques aren't culty, people are. I've been practising TDD for years, but I've only ever heard of this cult in web forums.
- sime2009 5y agoCount yourself lucky then. I've tried to work with TDD cult members and it was one of the worst experiences of my professional life. A good sign that people have moved into the cult is when they start saying that people who are not using TDD are "unprofessional" or produce "shit" code.
- nojvek 5y agoI like TDD when I’m mostly dealing with functional/library like code where I have a solid understanding of the interface/api. Just put all the expected input/outputs in a big table test and iterate. TDD is awful when you don’t have a clear idea about the interface and need to mock a whole bunch of internals that are likely to change.
