With TDD, you run the tests as often as one or two times every minute. 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. A narrow test is focused on a small amount of code. The more tests you have, the more important speed and reliability become.

The way you write an acceptance test is to take a user story and then write code that tests the end result of a software process. I think of defects as coming from four sources: programmer errors, design errors, requirements errors, and systemic errors. Preventing Programming Errors with 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. Some people invented a fun little game called “test driven development” (TDD).
