Absolutely!  It's a matter of habit to get in to, but once you do...

I much prefer developing TDD.  It's not always easy (if you're taking over
an existing codebase, etc) but if you have the chance go for it - you'll
find bugs much earlier in the process which is ALWAYS a good thing :-)

A lot of companies using Rails are doing things in a very agile/Agile way -
automated testing is a key part of that, and it's always better to test
first.

I would say though, that I much prefer feature tests using Cucumber to old
Test::Unit tests.

Cheers,


Andy
