Test Driven Development

An EE Times article suggests using a methodology that features metric-driven process automation. It says that to be more productive, we need to effectively manage the gigabytes of data produced by today's verification methodologies. First, the team creates project based on needs. Next, a verification team begins to execute on those requirements. The metrics are collected by a metric-driven process automation and management solution. When made available, metrics enable the team to react and make changes based on real-time data. The project development loop is closed by applying reprioritizations, reallocations, or additional automated debug scenarios to gain knowledge from design failures. Could your development efforts benefit from such a methodology?
