I'm doing TDD too, but no matter how you write your tests, you have to invest the time to write them. And putting together some shit code without writing tests is faster (in short term) then working with TDD. And time you have to consider too IMHO.

I think TDD is just a slogan. You cannot design your flow before test.

TDD is only suitable for someone just following the guide or well tested design sepc.

I think Unit Test is good for continuous integration and refactoring. It would be somehow a code quality but it is a measure of test coverage. The quality of a software is based on human.

My estimated time for Unit test would 1/3 of coding.
