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

Most folks I know who are experts at TDD consider that design is part of it. Some have even said "It might be called Test Driven Design." However, traditionally, it isn't called that. My personal view is that "Development" includes Design, so calling it TestDrivenDevelopment is most appropriate. Those who prefer "Design" appear to think that Development simply means programming, which is not what the word means for me. A further problem with "Test Driven Design" is that many folks still think of design as something that happens before development, rather than as part of it.

I've seen that some people use ATDD for testing at the story level, others call it TDD. I prefer separate names but they both have design elements as part of the "development."
