TDD in the real world. Clean architecture in the real world.

DD in the real world. Clean architecture in the real world.

A common complaint regarding TDD training is that we can’t translate it to the real world. For example, when there’s tutorials about the calculator, looks simple, but how do we apply it? The real world is much more complex.

Perhaps you tried using TDD in your company, and it failed, you felt that time on tests was wasted. Or you were using TLD because you felt that you couldn’t write tests up-front, and the tests never got written. Or there were too many dependencies on external services, and it was really confusing how to make tests from it.
