Test Driven Development Myths
January 28th, 2009
I’m often hearing thoughts about Test Driven Development from people not using it, which are not true (at least not 100%).
Therefore, I want to describe some of these myths here:
- Writing unit tests is difficult and complex
- Projects take longer because of the additional test code that has to be written
- Not everything can be tested with unit tests. Therefore TDD cannot be used.
- There is no need for architecture and design because TDD claims to evolve that from tests
