Re: Giving Up on TDD

A more credentialed rejection of TDD, coming from Dave Thomas, one of the original writers of the Agile Manifesto (which for reasons he explains here, he would rather call a manifesto on agility).  The linked time discusses about the value of testing practices .

    I have to shake my head that the need for TDD still isn't better understood.
I guess the current generation has been living their whole life where "Nothing ever works", that they see no need to ensure that it does, actually indeed work.

I'm glad to see that at least there is agreement that tests are needed at some point, but they still don't seem to get that TDD is the only way to have confirmation as to what areas of your code needs testing.
