Towards the end of the panel, Alex Speller (I think) mentioned a lack of
empirical evidence about TDD and development methodologies in general.  I
remember watching a talk about exactly this kind of thing late last year,
but for the life of me I can't find the link (Chrome doesn't seem to have
any of my browser history before the start of Jan).  I did a quick scan of
Confreaks and InfoQ and a cursory google search, but nothing seems to ring
a bell.  Chances are that it was a link I followed from a tweet by someone
on here, so I'm hoping someone else remembers it and can dig up the link.

Anyway, the point is that there is research in this area, I just don't
think it's widely publicised, or particularly mature as a field.
