23 -A simple TDD workflow is to write new code, run tests locally, wait for them to finish, and if they pass, move on. To avoid long waiting times, you run only a few very fast tests. This is tolerable when you are working on isolated code and using unit tests, but as soon as integration of the new code with the old code comes into play, this becomes a problem. You have two bad choices of Either you run only unit tests and do not take advantage of the full power of your test suite, or you run all tests and are unproductive for a long time while waiting for them to finish. This problem can be solved with asynchronous testing.
