We also must consider the role that Jenkins plays performing regression testing of code bases, ensuring that everything compiles and ensuring that every automated test passes during the night when developers are presumably at home asleep.

I don't know anything about TDD, I'm only just now looking at it, however I'm looking at TDD with Jenkins firmly in mind. I'm not at all convinced that TDD holds realizable benefits yet simply having a regression test platform in place, working, and actively examined in the morning to detect faults promptly is a proven benefit.

How TDD fits in to a model of Jenkins regression development cycles is a mystery to me as yet.
