Because TDD is “test” driven development, people tend to think of TDD as “writing tests first.” In fact, TDD is not a testing activity per se. It is the creation of an executable specification prior to the creation of each system element.

Particularly the chapters on how to systematically come up with test cases based on the specification, inputs, outputs and the structure of the implementation. I have used randomly generated tests to very good effect before, but always on complete systems (like generating random calls between phones), never as property based tests.

TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. How TDD is different than others?

It reduces the cost of testing and supports keeping long-term, high-development velocities. Test automation is not a project or a one-off—it is part of the development lifecycle and should be seen as its own system that needs to evolve over time as the requirements and system under test change and mature.

For example; An audit log statement for every action in the system - is too big and will not deliver any value in a long time. An audit log statement for logging into the system - this has value, is small, and holds many of the benefits of using smaller batches. Write a test for some functionality that doesn’t exist yet.

This is basically assuming the system is correct until proven otherwise. Deciding what strategy to use depends on your risk appetite for a specific system or functionality and on how much certainty you already have. When the risk profile of a system , or the certainty on it changes, the best quality strategy might also change.
