So I read the study. Martin Fowler is correct that you can't make huge generalizations from the study. But the importance is that someone is actually attempting to get quantitative evidence in an argument that has been largely anecdotal for the past several years. As flagrant as DHH's keynote was, back in the day, I think he was right to compare TDD to a fad diet. Yeah, there are people that will absolutely swear by it. But we really won't know until actual studies are done.
