Test Driven Development is one of those practices that divides people. Some people believe it represents a step change in the effectiveness of the development process and in the quality of the software that we produce. But if that is the case why doesn't every development team have TDD at the core of its development approach?

In this episode Dave Farley author of best selling books "Continuous Delivery" and "Modern Software Engineering" and long time TDD advocate describes the 10 most common reasons that people say that adopting TDD is difficult and gives his views on each.
