  • Instructor comments: I was hoping to get more insight into industry practices regarding TDD that you have gathered through your experience. I was particularly looking for some encouraging news on any companies that may have made strides in converting legacy software to TDD. I understand that you probably have strict limits on what info you can share due to agreements with others. Overall; I enjoyed the class as well as your previous visit; they were both very useful in re-enforcing many gut feelings I and others have collected over the years; about things we may be doing wrong.
  • Better prepared: Moderately
  • Start tomorrow: I am starting with a personal (non-work) project. At work; we are formulating a header cleanup strategy to help us get going a bit easier.
