To be fair, I think it's more of a concern that trying to write tests would slow the actual work down - I was trying to write regression test (still unit test, but definitely not tdd).
- avelis 12y agoWriting unit tests do not slow work down. It actually makes time more efficient by ensuring working code continues to pass over time. This has huge returns in how a developer can now spend their time.
- jf22 12y agoWell lets be clear unit testing temporarily slows immediate progress down while potentially increasing future productivity. Sometimes its beneficial to get a feature out the door sooner so sometimes unit testing isn't best for the business needs even if it does slow down future progress.
