With the growing interest for Extreme Programming, test driven development (TDD) has been increasingly investigated, and several experiments have been executed with the aim of understanding if and when it is preferable to the traditional practice of testing the code after having written it (named TAC in the paper). However, the research concerning TDD is at its beginning and the body of knowledge is largely immature. This paper discusses an experiment carried out within a Spanish software company with the aim of comparing productivity in TDD and TAC.
