Developing, building, and testing. How do it the best? Learning from the world leader - Microsoft



I'm very interested in how the developing/build/testing workflow @ Microsoft looks like. I think Microsoft as world leader in software developing business must have a very good workflow. Does anyone know how the development flow @ Microsoft looks like?

I'm also interested in the workflow in your company perhaps the workflow in your company better then @ Microsoft? What do you think about test driven development?

Other than that, XP isn't getting too much of a foothold in most of the companies that I have worked with or spoken to here in the Midwest anyway. Most everyone uses a Use Case based design model, then a traditional waterfall style development process for large process, or a RAD circle on small projects.
