Test-Driven Development Is Not Slower

Hello, my name is Matt Honeycutt, and I am addicted to Test Driven Development. I’ve been “using” for about 5 years now. It started out with a little innocent unit testing and Test Later Development, but I quickly found that the increased productivity caused by TDD to be too alluring, and I succumbed. Now I’m using all the time. I use at work. I use at home. I just can’t stop. People don’t really understand the risks. There’s this myth that TDD is slower, that it makes you less productive, but that’s so not true. Read on, and I’ll help you understand why.
