Kim Arnett [she/her] leads the mobile team at Deque Systems, bringing expertise in iOS development and a strong focus on accessibility, user experience, and team dynamics.
Just went to a great talk last night on TDD by John Reese. His example helped me understand that, like others have said, writing the tests first helps write cleaner code that's easier to maintain, understand, and is obviously testable.
I think it's the backwards approach to what most teams are used to, but usually is a goal that they want to try, but just haven't made the switch.
Initial investment is a little deeper, which project management also isn't on board with generally, so that could be a factor as well.
I'm a Web Developer and although I'm an American, I'm currently in Portugal, and I try every day to learn something new and improve what I already know.
By chance the talk isn't available online? A quick google search only revealed the meetup page and the next result was the actor of Person of Interest xp
The idea of writing the tests first does sound like it will help to building more robust code, have to try it soon if I get some free time

It’s not, he’s active in the open source community and the code is on github if you want to probe through it.
