If you churn out new code and features, your test suite will be of very little help if any.

If you're also the one responsible for writing tests, you can easily churn out even more unmaintainable crap.

In my experience it's not enough to just have them do TDD, because writing a good test suite is hard.



Mutation testing can help evaluate the quality of a test suite. The application code is automatically tweaked and tests run. If a mutant is not "killed," then additional tests may be needed.
