  1. Totally agree with the statement that those who don’t like TDD have never really practiced TDD. I often find that more senior developers are more resistant to adopting this (and other XP) practices. Sometimes I just think it’s an issue with egos. In my 10+ years of getting teams to adopt TDD and CD not one team has gone back to their old ways, surely there is a good reason for this.

  2. Writing tests after kind of defeats the point. TDD will ensure you have a better design. In addition you can only ever be 100% confident in your tests if you’ve seen them fail first. This is the key to unlocking CD.

  3.  @carstenbohme8813 It’s a fair challenge. Teams get a chance to change their ways of working at the retrospective meeting and frequently modify things, but abandoning TDD hasn’t been suggested.
