Hi there,

  I am a consultant working for a software company trying to provide a
recommendation on the future of Automated Unit Testing and Test Driven
Development for J2EE/.Net/Web Services Development.

  I would appreciate any advice, data, information, people have on
whether these practices work and what tools appear to be useful.

- How do people measure the ROI of AUT or TDD? What are the hard and
soft benefits?
- What types of software companies get most benefit from AUT or TDD?
I.e. mission critical? Short lifecycle? Long lifecycle? Highly
volatile code? Etc?
- Will AUT or TDD replace any current testing methodologies that QA
uses or will QA's system and integration level testing always continue
to be neccessary?
- Any value to test automation suites like Agitar or Parasoft? Are
there any other popular automation suites?

Any information you can provide along these lines would be
appreciated. Thanks.
