Test-driven development by example Kent Beck
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

Mar 4, 2006 - Test Driven Development (TDD) is something that many people talk about but few actually do. (See “TDD by Example,” Beck and, to some extent, “Refactoring,” Fowler). Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a tool to manage the complexity and difficulty of writing software. Jun 19, 2013 - Instant RSpec Test-Driven Development How-to is filled with examples of actual code accompanied by explanations and covers general Ruby, Rails, and RSpec use cases plus a few of the more advanced topics. Mar 28, 2014 - They may remember that Mark Pilgrim introduces testing, in fact he introduces TDD, in chapter 10. May 9, 2014 - In a recent keynote at RailsConf called Writing Software*, David Heinemeier Hansson argues that test-driven development (TDD) can harm the clarity of our code, and that clarity is the key thing we should be aiming for when writing software. 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. Recommended by: Sam Livingston-Gray. Write the implementation to make the test pass (even if it involves hard-coding values based on the knowledge of the test). May 1, 2013 - The right test is the smallest leap we can find. May 10, 2014 - Even when they talked about their alternative methods (Kent talking about times he doesn't use TDD, for example) they still always talked about having something to look at as an inherent part of the development process. Feb 11, 2013 - Test driven development is a development process that is exactly what it sounds like, we develop our applications driven by a number of different tests. A common misconception is Screencast of Test Driven Development with Ruby: Part 1 – A Simple Example. Let's try a simple example to see how we could be TDD-ish with @should tags. Mar 28, 2006 - The approach described in Kent Beck's TDD by Example, is: 1. May 12, 2014 - The real question is: will the @should tags that helped us start testing our code become an impediment to TDD? Write a test (which will break). Apr 20, 2009 - Proponents argue that TDD produces clean interfaces, minimal implementations and a suite of tests that can be used to guard against regressions. It's an excellent talk, and I would highly As a minimal counter-example, TDD doesn't stop you using terrible names for things. This involves writing all your tests up front before any development has taken place. Oct 6, 2012 - “Test-Driven Development By Example” by Kent Beck.
