Test-Driven Development is one of those techniques that somehow is not as widely used as it should be. I know a lot of developers who can agree on the benefits it brings. Yet the same developers, when asked about practicing TDD, answer: “it does not work for me”.
When I tried to understand the “why” behind this statement, they start to struggle to find an explanation. They say they only add simple features. They say their application is not that complex. They have no time. Many of them tried, but it was “too time-consuming”, it cost too much effort.
I pair with some of them. On a couple of occasions I had long conversations with them to understand how they were doing it? What went wrong? What’s the conclusion? In many cases, the problem lies in the basics - they simply tried to apply TDD to every newly created object.

Just stop for a moment
I know there are deadlines in front of you that need to be met. They are the reason why you keep writing code. They are the cause of your lack of time - you are running from one deliverable to another, trying to deliver as fast as possible. Trying to deliver with the highest quality possible.

Refactoring vs. Redesign
It often happens that developers use words Refactoring and Redesign interchangeably. Why? I think that is because in both cases we are ending with the same result - code that is changed, but it does exactly the same thing as it was capable of doing at the beginning of the process.
Yet, in my opinion those words are not exact synonymous and before we will start to refactor the code it is good to know the difference.
