Back when the system was created I had never been a "TDDer" before and the tools that exist now did not exist...
Amen. I think a lot of the heated arguments about the value of testing arise from the fact that not everybody is using the same toolset. I'm sure unit testing in C is a major pain in the neck. (Can anybody link me to a document suggesting how to do it?) I know that unit testing in PHP is no picnic. But testing in Ruby is a joy, because the Ruby community has lavished attention on the subject over the last five years and the language, the tools, the idioms, and the culture are highly developed.
