Is Test Driven Development good for a starter? [closed]

Question

Expanding this question on how I learnt to pass from problem description to code Two people mentioned TDD.

Would it be good for a starter to get into TDD ( and avoid bad habits in the future ? ) Or would it be too complex for a stage when understand what a programming language is?

Answer 1

TDD is meant to be simpler than the "traditional" method (of not testing it till the end) - because the tests clarify what you understand of the problem. If you actually didn't have a clear idea of what the problem was, writing tests is quite hard.

So for a beginner, writing tests gets the thinking juice going in the right direction, which is contractual behaviour, not implementation behaviour.
