Sometimes yes.

Sometimes no. That's when I do TDD.

You can only solve a problem with TDD well if you know EXACTLY what do you want to implement before even starting with exact input-output.

That's blatantly not true.

I use TDD to pick apart the problem bit by bit implementing the next (then unknown) step in a very piece meal fashion.

edit: also, what kind of gatekeeping is

"You can only solve a problem with TDD well if you know EXACTLY what do you want to implement".

The end result is the same: a set of covering tests & working code.
