Really suprised that TDD is, amongst this audience, so little used. The idea of taking a user story, experssing the requirements in gherkin type language, then using that spec to create tests in a red/green/refactor approach has stood my developers (and the supporting QA engineers) move faster, deliver code that meets the spec, and given us assurance on system and regression testing long after the original code and test code were written. I dont belive that you need automated tests for everything but you do need it for the majority of things.
