    In short, TDD and Agile really focus on different aspects, and aren't mutually exclusive of one another.

    • TDD is very focused on how code gets written (and thus tends to be aimed at the work cycles of individual or small groups of developers exclusively).

    • Agile is really focused on the overall development process, not just how the code gets written and tested (and thus focuses a lot on project management and groups of developers, as opposed to specifically how a given developer writes code).
