Does TDD (Test Driven Development) Lead to Better Software Design?

Test Driven Development (TDD) is often misunderstood. Some people see it as more Test Driven Design than Test Driven Development. Some pitch TDD vs BDD others assume that Test Driven Development is just a synonym for Unit Testing.

In this episode Dave Farley answers a viewer’s question about whether to use real or faked dependencies and uses that to explore the idea of TDD as a software engineering approach. Employing automated testing to improve software design and demonstrating with examples of good and bad code how to use TDD to simplify our work and our code.
