Dave Thomas, the co-author of pragmatic programmer, said he doesn't usually test unless it's a complex algorithm. What it means that everyone has a different approach and should not force their way. Agile became an industry.  It became unnecessarily complex. The solution suggested is the below. Agility - What to do
  • Find out where you are
  • Take a small step towards your goal
  • Adjust your understanding based on what you learned
  • Repeat
Agility - How to do it
  • Take the path that makes further change easier, when faced with multiple alternatives.
A good design is easier to change than a bad design. This can encapsulate all design methodologies. No rules are universal. Reference: GOTO 2015 • Agile is Dead • Pragmatic Dave Thomas
