In my experience a test first approach produces better code and tests -there will be a few words about it in the next posts of the series-, but this does not have to work the same way for all of us. Not following TDD is a totally fair approach as long as your code ends up well tested.

However, TDD and the type of test you end up writing and running are not correlated. The type of a test, at least in the sense pointed in the post, is related to the type of interaction tested, no matter you wrote it before, after or along with the implementation.
