An unexpected benefit of unit tests
TDD may not be a two-step process, but its first step is always "write tests" hence the term test-driven, which author clearly diverged from.

TDD's first step is write *a test*, not "write tests". Batch size of one. If it was "write tests," it'd be more waterfall.

Still, you write
a test
first which, again, the author diverged from.

I don’t either. But somehow TDD is considered the sanctioned way to work with unit tests, and that it is almost pointless to write tests unless you’re doing TDD. I am relieved to read that I am not the only one.
