This case study was done with a software company located in Spain. This experiment was done over a time period of 3 days, it involved a 3 hours seminar on TDD, and two 5 hour runs of test driven development. One lesson that was learn is extending the time window of the experiment might give a more accurate results. The conclusion of this paper shows that there are statistical evidence that TDD requires more time than TAC. However, there is not any statistical evidence that TDD brings about more accurate and precise unit tests than TAC. TDD lets a greater predictability of performance than TAX: such a result might be helpful when estimating project's costs.
