I'm not sure it's pure noise for professionals. These students eventually turn into professionals so there's probably some relationship (at least that would be my hypothesis).

Regarding the replication crisis...this is actually a replication and there's actually more replication for TDD than for most topics I read about.

Again, as a convenience sample with a tiny sample size, there's no conclusion we can even draw about students, let alone professionals.
