> Sure, your favorite programming blog says they're critical for quality assurance and maintainable code Good point. We've found it's leaps and bounds better / cheaper / safer to just have someone who's entire job is code auditing and sanity checks. Couple that with a sign out the door (4 people have to sign off on a finished product, update or feature) and you beat TDD?/Agile practices every time :)
