Is this a joke or he is he just unable to separate "tests" from "test driven development"? Most of these points have nothing to do with "tests first".

I'm not sure I've ever seen a debate about TDD without at least one TDD advocate conflating testing in general with TDD…


Well, you see, we've wandered into a dogmatic war. This is like the early days of Vim vs Emacs. There will be thousands upon thousands of words expended, because being verbose means you're right. Nobody will listen to the other side because they're convinced they're right. We'll also see strawman effigies burned to the ground, and one side claiming victory because of it. I feel that this is long from over.
