TDD is Dead says the creator of Ruby on Rails
http://david.heinemeierhansson.com/2014/tdd-is-dead-long-live-testing.html � some quotes pulled from the note are below:
Test-first fundamentalism is like abstinence-only sex ed: An unrealistic, ineffective morality campaign for self-loathing and shaming.
Test-first units leads to an overly complex web of intermediary objects and indirection in order to avoid doing anything thats "slow".
I rarely unit test in the traditional sense of the word, where all dependencies are mocked out, and thousands of tests can close in seconds. It just hasnt been a useful way of dealing with the testing of Rails applications.

p.s. - I wrote this whole post just for that mocks pun.
