Yesterday I pitched TDD at work to 5 colleagues. It went very well, though the presentation went longer than I expected.
I was expecting to spend 10 or 15 minutes talking about unit tests, TDD, UnitTest++, and how I have already applied unit tests and TDD to some of the code I'm working on. I wrote up a short guide to keep myself on track. I abandoned my guide about 30 seconds in to the presentation, and ended up talking and fielding questions for about 45 minutes.
It was a pretty easy sell. All the questions were along the line of "How do you do X?" and "What about Y?" The hard sell will be to management. The whole thing will be complicated by my move back to Illinois. I'll be working remotely, whch means I won't be around to try and help TDD take hold. Still, I had to try.
I'm very excited to see how this works out.
