Ressurecting a critique of test-first...

| [This is a thread from about a year ago; I've included links (and
excerpts) from a couple of posts in it at the bottom, for those who want
more context.]
To summarize: Andrew McDonagh posted that his group was developing a
5-9s availability distributed program using TDD and XP (at least partly
in Java).
I was wondering what progress had been made on the project. How well did
TDD work? In particular, how well did TDD do in ensuring 5-9s reliability?

Hi,
Don't have time today to answer this - but wanted to let you know I will
ASAP.
