ms like enough tests to me...

NOT!

Welcome to Test Driven Developer! This site is dedicated to those who understand the benefits of test-first development, and the advancement of the practice.

  It is sometimes hard to convince traditionally trained developers that it is better to write a test first, before writing the code. In Test Driven Development, we always write a test first before writing the code.

Many developers are hard to convince to use this methodology. It is very often difficult for a developer to understand completely what the code needs to do. Yet - they want to proceed to write it anyway? It's kind of a flaw in the thinking process.

Lucky that you are smart enough to know that there's a better way..

TDD is not a Java thing. It's not a .NET thing. It's not language dependent. Anyone can do test-first development, for literally any kind of software development.

Figuring out the test for some code is always the hard part... that's why we like to do it first, and get it out of the way.
