Now I have more time for practicing TDD. Don’t ask me why I didn’t have time to do it before. ;-) The result of TDD code katas practicing is realized habits for every day usage. In most cases the work out habits are independent from the environment and programming language. The new “mental habits” give you a new way of thinking on a small steps which is very useful in every day programming activities. I strongly recommend you to practice some kind of code kata regularly just to work out a new “mental habit” which will save you in the next chaotic project.
Believe me, you don’t have time to become software developer(warrior) for a day!

So I keep thinking that quality and testing of the code is developer’s job, and Gojko Adzic presentation confirms my understanding of software development process on some way. Take a look the Gojko Adzic presentation with his QA analysis about Greece crisis. ;-)

1. Experts are clueless.
2. Customers cannot tell you what they need.
3. Jump to the next curve.
4. The biggest challenges beget best work.
5. Design counts.
6. Changing your mind is a sign of intelligence.
7. “Value” is different from “price.”
8. A players hire A+ players.
