Nice post. Thanks for putting it together. Even though some people get tired of TDD posts, I think it is an important topic that should be discussed much more.

Just a little side note: The "Chicago School" should really be "Detroit School". Just like in the second resource you named. I know that the name "Chicago School" is pretty popular, but there is no connection to Chicago. It was called "Detroit School" because it came out of Chryslers C3 project where Kent Beck and Ron Jeffries used it.

I really appreciate the feedback thanks! I hadn't really considered researching TDD as a field until the feedback I received on my approach and I'm interested in learning lots more now. It's definitely an important topic and one that has more to it than meets the eye I feel...

Thanks for clarifying on the Detroit school. Being a Londoner I wasn't sure if Detroit was perhaps a city in Chicago and maybe they both meant the same thing? I will add a note to the top of the article stating that Detroit is actually the name of the school.
