The TDD advocates I have been exposed to are mostly cargo culting consultants and this alone makes me very sceptical. It has some good core ideas but I find that in practice it leads to unit tests that are highly coupled to implementation details. Quick to execute but almost worthless from a test perspective. Its best to throw them out after the inital implementation is done since the usually just become a burden to maintain. Black box at system boundaries are the only tests that bring value long term in my experience. I would really like to hear more details about projects that use TDD and how they use it a few years down the line. All I can find are toy examples..
