<p>I know there is done some research on TDD at the North Carolina State University. They have published a paper called '<a href="http://collaboration.csc.ncsu.edu/laurie/Papers/TDDpaperv8.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">An Initial Investigation of Test Driven Development in Industry</a>'. Other publications by NCSU can be found <a href="http://collaboration.csc.ncsu.edu/laurie/publications.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

<p>Can anybody point me to other good publications on this topic? </p>
