Today there was an interesting discussion between Kent Beck , Martin Fowler , and David Heinemeier Hansson on the nature and use of Test-Driven Development (TDD), where one writes tests first and then writes code. It’s possible to minimize this point and say it’s only relevant to debugging or testing.
