> I used to work at a company that wanted us to TDD everything. Dogma is the bain of everyone :) I will never advocate "100% TDD." It is a tool like any other that has its place and, more importantly, doesn't fit everywhere. Though I will freely admit I do encourage people to use it more than what I have seen to be the typical amount. > When it came to adding a feature to a Rails app, the interface is pretty well defined, it’s going to serve up HTML and js, it’s got to fit on the existing structure of the page or conform to a design. It's very unlikely I'd use TDD on that. Boilerplate/plumbing is something I rarely use/advocate TDD for - it's the "clever" stuff you want to cover. The stuff that is following rules outside of the code itself. > Tests were changing as much as production code while we worked on that. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, imo.
