Comment on The Effectiveness of Test Driven Development (With Case Studies)parent

Thanks, BDD looks like an interesting idea, I think I will look into that some more.

Anyway, I tend to build the happy path by any means necessary, verify that's what you want, then go for TQM style process improvement to add quality. I think of it like pulling a tiny string across the river before you build a rope bridge.

It’s not hard to add heaver gage rope to work your way up to a bridge. But, good luck crossing the chasm if you don’t know how to swim or where to find a boat. While that original string may have little to do with the finished bridge, but at least you have something to fall back on when you’re trying to get the GPU to do something etc.

PS: Ok, I think I took that analogy well past the breaking point.
