The Transformation Priority Premise is an idea proposed by Robert Cecil “Uncle Bob” Martin^[1] a few years back with an aim of improving how Test Driven Development (TDD)^[2] is done. I’m not going to try and paraphrase the Master Craftsman, I’ll just point you to his blog post^[3].  For those that like videos, there is an introductory talk from NDC 2011^[4], but to more fully understand the idea you’ll need to read the article.
