TDD in Spring Boot

When I was first introduced to the concept of TDD, I admit I was quite skeptical. I felt the concept of writing unit tests before the code itself just seemed ridiculous, or, in other words, crazy. I was not different from others who felt it was just an added process to slow down an already jam-packed development life cycle. But now, having explored the use of TDD during application development with Spring Boot 3.0, I know that this is not the case.
