This is the first time I have heard someone use Test Driven Design! Thanks for sharing. Important point we can take away from this is that we need to give the same love and attention we give production code to our test code. The refactor phase is not just for our production code. If we don't we will end up with a tangled mess. Before I really understood and used TDD I thought that test code did't need to live up to the same standards as production code.

Yas as someone pointed out I drifted away with my thoughts on TDD to reinvent it as a TDDesign
however, I was trying to say what I said - for me TDD is there to guide you through development with better design, because it makes bad descisions stand out early )
