TDD is also overrated because in reality there are many cases where it is not useful and yet TDD gurus want you to use TDD everywhere. They are so silly.

It is wrong to differentiate tests by sizes - the number of lines they test. We should differentiate by speed and how independent they are from other tests. Unit tests should be very fast and totally independent from other tests so we can run them in paralel mode while integration tests can be slow and independent so we can only run them is sequence. This is the proper differentiation between unit and integration tests so please stop writing silly small unit tests that test just few lines of code.

@thomasmoores3512 if you think you can do TDD the proper way then please tell me how many unit test you deleted while doing TDD. Those that keep all or almost all unit tests while doing TDD don't know how to do TDD the proper way.

WARNING the proper way to do TDD is to DELETE many unit tests that are fully covered by larger tests. If you don't delete many "small" unit tests then you are not doing TDD the right way. I bet most people don't know this.

@salvatoreshiggerino6810 I've spent 20+ years in the business and never saw it being used except by me when it makes sense to use it.
