I cannot understand how a team would end up spending time soley writing tests, as in just producing tests and nothing else?? What I have found is (and I am a team of one in this case) is that I can spend too much time thinking about and trying different ways of writing a test at the cost of not producing the feature required. For me a GUI is still something that I do not see how to produce via TDD. But I would probably put this down to lack of experience. Or maybe if I had a pair they would have moved me along :-) I found the XP Adventures in C# book provided good discussion on finding a balance between testing/refactoring/delivering features.
