Done well, TDD eliminates an entire class of programming errors. TDD isn’t perfect, of course. TDD is difficult to add to legacy codebases.

If they don’t, you won’t be able to get feedback within 1-5 seconds, and that’s crucial for the TDD loop to work effectively. If you use TDD correctly, broad tests shouldn’t be needed.
