Re: [extremeprogramming] The principle behind How Test-Driven Development Works

If the people asking for the software, deciding what the software should
do, designing and implementing the development of the software, and
managing the process did not make mistakes, TDD would be entirely
unnecessary.  We could and would just apply our technical skills to
analyze, design, and deliver what was initially asked for and do it right
the first time.

TDD is useful precisely because everybody involved is making mistakes (and
not just technical mistakes).
