# My Personal notes

- TDD is not a testing strategy or tool.
- TDD is a skill
- It takes a lot of time to master TDD.
- Customers don't care if we write tests, but they do care about the quality.
- Today there are at least two TDD Styles: [London School and Chicago School](https://cleancoders.com/episode/comparativeDesign-episode-1)
- Chicago School is inside-out. It designs on the green.
- London School is outside-in and [abuses mocks](https://maximilianocontieri.com/code-smell-30-mocking-business). It designs on the red stage.
- When we plan the tests, we can use [ZOMBIES](https://maximilianocontieri.com/how-i-survived-the-zombie-apocalypse) guidance.
- We must ensure tests are failing for the right reason. It is not enough to watch them fail.
- In TDD, procrastination is a good thing. The more we delay a decision, the better our solutions are.
