They are not the same thing, unfortunately this is common mistake in software quality assurance. They do share similar characteristics, however, they serve a different purpose.

@Lyndon You still need to run the selenium server to get the Remote Web Driver to work. We tend to use this to allow our test to be run on a another machine rather than the build server. You also need it in .net to run the headless browser (HtmlUnit).

"QA specialist should not be involved in the actual gathering / creation of the requirements." At the end of the first sentence in your answer. Apart from that you make some great points such as not letting letting the process become a bottleneck.

I strongly disagree with a QA specialist should not be involved in the creation of requirements. From experience, I have found that getting testing involved from the start of a project (requirements creation) has helped us catch bugs or potential bugs before any time has been wasted on writing code for a component that would be fundamentally flawed.

revised If I didn't use TDD but want to transition to agile, should I go back and create those unit tests?
