I think Doron from Typemock post gives a really good real world example of how TDD can save save time and improve quality and confidence.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.typemock.com/2008/08/why-tdd-rocks.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://blog.typemock.com/2008/08/why-tdd-rocks....&lt;/a&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Andrew Woodward</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:02:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Does TDD speed up development?</title><link>http://www.21apps.com/agile/does-tdd-speed-up-development/#comment-6671626</link><description>TDD in my experience does not speed up development, but actually slows it down significantly. How can PMs or senior management expect a developer to take the same amout of time to code an app with full scripts, and test at the same time that it takes to develop without TDD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where the time and money is made up is through QA and maintenance of the app. If the code is rock solid from V1 on, then the theory is that it'll require less time and maintenence in the long run.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oreilly</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Dec 2008 22:44:50 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
