TDD is extremely good for two things:

0. Getting loose cannon devs on track.

We all know and have to deal with such guys, but it's not hard to write tests with premises like "This is the name of the output module, and these are the expected outputs from it".

-- You know your inputs

-- You don't care what the processes are; that's where you rely on other developers

-- You know the outputs That Have To Result.

So write tests for it.

What TDD does is get that clear in everyone's mind, so flying off in weird and unwanted directions is less likely to happen.


1. Forcing specs

For me, this is their primary function. Even "produce working code" is secondary.

Put it this way: It's a way of introducing specs when the f***ing lazy management team hasn't provided them -- with the added bonus that the f***ing lazy management team has to sign off on it.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
