<p>I recently read a post where the writer said automated testing, test-driven development, continuous integration, trunk-based development, etc, are difficult.</p>
<p>I'm familiar with them and have been using them for some time, but I think trunk-based development is easier as there's only a single branch instead of many.</p>
<p>Continuous integration is pulling everyone else's code at least once daily and pushing yours to ensure it doesn't conflict.</p>
<p>Test-driven development is writing failing tests before any implementation code and refactoring once it passes.</p>
<p>I don't think these are technically difficult, but they do require an open mind, a willingness to learn, evaluate and consider alternative approaches and, in some cases, change existing behaviour.</p>
<p>Change can be the difficult part, not which brand you commit to, how often you push your code or when you write your tests.</p>
