> Individuals should use what works best for their needs

Maybe rather: teams should use what works best for their needs ?

EDIT: whee, downvotes. Apparently HN'ers work on teams that ship software and where a developer uses kanban, another TDD, another waterfall, another scrum, and another only commits code when the 8 planets are aligned.



> whee, downvotes.

I'm going to take a stab at the down votes, as I could easily understand why someone might. First, consider your original comment was pedantic and offered little in the way of original insight. It would be like me replying to you and saying:

"Maybe rather: teams should use hwat works best for their needs per project?"

What does that really add?

Basically, it added little to the conversation. Heck, your edit complaining about the down votes is longer than your comment.


TDD vs Testing after is a personal choice apart from how the team set goals. That is to say you can be on a waterfall schedule and still practice TDD.

As long as code shows up to code review with good tests, I don't personally care if the tests were written before or after.


Maybe you are being down voted by fans of the former-planet Pluto? Sensitive bunch, those guys.
