TDD does not convince me much either, I see it as a convenience but I am not so sure it really worths its time.

Maybe because there too few coders out there that would make changes that will massively affect the system, or they wont do some form of testing anyway.��

I can see the benefit of TDD when you code apps or libs with objects that are highly dependent on each other and you want to make sure you dont brake anything, but I doubt thats a common case.

And not even Pharo has convinced me to use tests, though that is the common practice. ��

More or less what I think: testing is necessary and should be pragmatic & fun, not a dogma
