TDD did not live up to expectations 9 years ago
"The main failing of TDD is the assumption that you know all of the tests that you will need before you know your software."
If that's what TDD is, then it can only fail. Fortunately, TDD does not require you to write all your tests up front (see "The Three Rules of TDD").
I spend a lot of my time interviewing people and talking with people about TDD. In the vast majority of cases, I find people who dislike TDD are often doing "Not TDD, but called TDD." If I were to write software that way, I too would consider that TDD did not live up to expectations.
