One of the biggest issues with our industry is the ambiguity in our definitions. The author mentions “unit tests” as if it was a well defined term. But some people understand “unit” as a class, other understand it as a module, others as a behavior. Some TDDers write unit tests that would be considered “integration tests” by other developers. Then we have TDD itself, there are at least two different schools of TDD. What the author calls “maximal TDD” sounds like the mockist school to me. Would his criticism also apply to the classical school? I’m sincerely curious. If we don’t have a common ground, communication becomes really difficult. Discussion and criticism becomes unfruitful.
