I don't know anyone who thinks that TDD is the be-all-end-all of software
development. The reality is that it does offer some very tangible benefits:
- Everyone writes some kind of test. It might be a scribble pad that you
run to make sure something works. It might be that you write code
I'm not going to get into the discussion of whether or not TDD is good, bad, or
should be done lest you are just stupid and ugly. Anytime, or anyway, you think
hard about the software you deliver, it's is going to be better than if you
just bang it out with one eye open and hope no one sees
still
looking!

I like that you've been thinking about thinking while writing your
framework, Isaac. I dig that. :-)
The way I'm currently tackling the tests, is to try to work them into
my routine.
That hard part is, as been mentioned, not having to go back a lot to
keep it all in sync.
I wonder if this
TDD advocate here... I really think folks are going into TDD with this
mindset that it's just write a test before you write code (so yes your are
somewhat right). Doing this is going to result in frustration and an
eventual failure and abandonment of TDD. Focusing on just writing a test is

Whoa, hold it right there. Show me the TDD advocate who promotes
writing all tests before writing code and I'll personally have their
card revoked! TDD means write a test, then write some code, then write
another testby the time you write your last test, you've written
all your code bar
