Instructor comments:
I thought you could maybe stress the unsustainability of manual testing more in the start of the course; and impress upon devs that not testing is a false economy. Maybe that might get them on-side faster?
Better prepared:
Much better
Start tomorrow:
Maybe. In the next couple weeks I'm working on integrating someone a driver written by a different team onto our platform; not the best time for TDD since I'm not responsible for the module.
However; I will look for chances to use TDD when I next need to bug-fix or fresh develop.
Challenges to applying:
Acceptance from other developers; especially those not working at our site.
Incrementally applying to our massive legacy code base; especially on modules that are not under our direct control.
