Comment on When TDD Doesn't Workparent

Comments

I agree with your (likely more than) partially formed thoughts; there is still a lot we don't know. In my case, I often work with CSS and TDD would not just add complexity, it conceptually does not make sense with my workflow. It is human nature to generalize solutions. But in our industry, we sometimes find ourselves generalizing 'development' when that is an enormity in and of itself.

From the article: "Besides, how do you know if the CSS is correct? Remember we are doing TDD. We are writing our tests first. How do you know, in advance, what the CSS should be?"
