Apr 18, 2009 - For several years, I've been giving talks and coaching teams on how to do Test Driven Development, and by far the most frustrating part of the process has been overcoming people's expectations when you use the word “test”. May 14, 2014 - A side effect of TDD is that the resulting tests are working examples for invoking the code, thereby providing a working specification for the code. Write a test (which will break). May 13, 2014 - If you've somehow managed to miss the keynote, blog post and subsequent shitstorm about it, David Heinemeier Hansson (dhh), creator of ruby on rails, has recently come out and declared test-driven development (TDD) dead. Write the implementation to make the test pass (even if it involves hard-coding values based on the knowledge of the test). I find this the hardest part of Test Driven Development, for example, in the Roman Numerals problem I now always start with conversion of 0, 1, 5, and 10. I expected this book would be a good choice to follow The Art of Unit Testing, which I read and reviewed recently. May 1, 2013 - The right test is the smallest leap we can find. Sep 16, 2012 - Test Driven Development, like all good games in the world, is simple to learn, hard to master. Mar 28, 2006 - The approach described in Kent Beck's TDD by Example, is: 1. Feb 22, 2011 - You have no examples of test classes to learn with, and because the code hasn't been got under test, it isn't going to be designed with testing in mind. I've dubbed it David gives an example of why unit tests aren't valuable because they didn't catch a BaseCamp bug to do with attachments (hint: the issue isn't to do with unit testing per se, but having only one style of tests).

Oct 2, 2009 - I generally prefer reference books to introductory tests, so when I got the opportunity to read Kent Beck's Test Driven Development By Example , I was really surprised how easy to read—dare I say fun?—it was.
