Test-driven development (TDD) has been around for more than 20 years. Nearly all of the greats in software underline it as an important and valuable method. Many people think of TDD as a methodology for testing because of its name. There are some negative feelings towards writing tests.

Disentangling Programming Concerns At first glance, all the activities I mentioned seem inseparable, like a big blob of spaghetti code. What do we want to achieve with the code we’re creating? In most cases, we need the ability to evolve the code. We introduce design to our software. How should it behave?
