Another great example of where you can use this practice. Thanks for the comment.

Michael Feathers uses this method (in Working Effectively with Legacy Code) when attempting to understand a system before refactoring it to put it under test. I think he called it ‘scratch programming’. He will hack into the code he is using applying tests to ascertain system behaviour and throw it away. I think it can be effective and I guess the use case I apply it too most often is fixing defects in complex code. I take the problem, isolate it, produce a proof of concept to reproduce and then I can apply different fixes to it without the worry of any other dependencies interfering.

@Trevor, I’m curious do you have some examples as to what happened, and more so as to how you feel it hurts the credibility of Agile.

Seeing Thoughtworks and their Agile approach make a total mockery of several projects, blowing through millions of $ in consulting fees with VERY little (and sometimes nothing) to show for it…..kinda hurts the credibility of Agile…imho.
