Over the last year my experience with TDD has been extremely positive. I stared working on a project that merged about once per year and had many bugs so changes where rare and it was difficult to work on. I started adding tests to the project and slowing fixed it. We are now able to merge multiple times per week and have not had anything major break in over half a year. We have had a few minor problems that where quickly sorted out and new tests added to catch them. I am not saying the code base is completely tested at this point but as we continue to add more tests development just keeps getter faster. Probably the biggest change is that by having to write tests for the code it has forced some of the code to be rewritten to be more functional and easy to test. This also had the side effect of making software composition easier to do and a GREAT deal of code was removed.

@e2e23e Technically it was a combination of TDD and unit tests. For most of the new changes the tests where written at least partially first. Unittests where also added for older code in order to refactor the code. Tests for the newer functions to be created where often written first.
