I like to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) when coding. However, in some circumstances, TDD is more of a hinderance than a help. Writing tests only makes sense after the solution is viable. Last week, I came across examples of where I developed new functionality without using TDD.

It all has to be very reactive; you keep fiddling with the code until it gets traction. Under those conditions, it doesn’t make sense to cross all the t’s and dot the i’s as the life expectancy of the code is weeks or months. We see the same kinda thing with unit testing. So you build, pivot, build, pivot, etc.

When I first heard about Test Driven Development (TDD) I immediately wrote it off as a technique that will slow me down, how on earth should I know exactly what my code will look like if I often refactor while coding. So what is TDD? For me it made perfect sense to ignore this crazy idea.
