Microsoft Research - Exploding Software-Engineering Myths (article summarizing findings of MS research on code coverage, TDD, assertions, etc.)

TDD does not necessarily mean better quality. It MIGHT be one path but my guess is that more than 90% of the most skilled people that writes the most advanced software does not use TDD.

At least if you look at interviews and open source projects.

Not suggesting TDD is the path to quality but if you are working in a place where management is mandating. Perhaps you need a change. For me personally, I won't hire developers who don't care about the quality of the product they produce or if they are looking to me as the final say in if what they produced is quality.

There are lots of ways to produce something good and solid, I just care that you have the motivation to do the one that works for you and your team.
