“you can build LINQ to NHibernate extensions and get all the goodness of
the LINQ language/compiler/intellisense work using NHibernate”

I don’t
like the implication that unit testing is a “team system” feature.
Whether you “test first” or “test later”, I think everybody pretty much
now agrees that you need to perform automated developer testing sometime, no matter what kind of work you’re doing. ”

“TDD is cost effective when and if the effort you put into writing the
tests is less than the corresponding effort would have been for the
manual unit testing and additional debugging that you dodge by having
comprehensive unit test coverage. Add in the hard to quantify
advantage from the qualities of orthogonality that TDD all but requires
(testability design is mostly about creating orthogonality between the
pieces). ”
