Pragmatic Test Driven Development (TDD) is a practical approach to testing that focuses on the bigger picture of how testing best fits into and enhances your team’s software development practices.

You need to determine how testing best fits into your development context with your developers for your kind of software.

Joe Yoder travelled to Krakow, Poland to attend JDD 2011, a Java developer conference. While there, Joe gave a keynote address on "Big Ball of Mud: Is This The Best That Agile Can Do?" and hosted a workshop on "Rulemakers and Toolmakers: Adaptive Object-Models as an Agile Division of Labor."
PLoP is an annual pattern writing conference. Joe has attended the conference every year since its inception in 1994. The conference is co-located with SPLASH. This year, The Refactory, Inc. attended and participated in both PLoP and SPLASH.

Then, in short programming and testing cycles, evolve your test as you complete your code.
