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.
