  1. Reads like a post from someone who has never practiced TDD to me. If your tests are tightly coupled to your implementation then something is wrong. You’re not just ensuring the implementation works but that your solution design is loosely coupled and you have separation of concern etc. It helps that when things do ‘come together’ you have clearly defined boundaries. You don’t need to know the overall design of the final solution to practice TDD, far from it. Try starting from the actual business/domain logic and work out from there as this is the most important part of the application.

  2. Try using the strangler fig pattern to gradually extract away the existing code when it needs modifying.
