Agile, Stand-ups, TDD and Code Reviews

The Programmer's Paradox

Clearly, the best way to test any software is with fully automated ‘system’ testing that is thorough enough that it can be used for full regression testing. In its fullest form, it is at least as much code as the thing it is going to test, and you have to build a custom version of it, every time, for every system. But it got worse.

AoAD2 Practice: Test-Driven Development

James Shore

To share your thoughts, join the AoAD2 open review mailing list. What programming languages really need is a ‘DWIM’ instruction,” the joke goes. “Do Programming is demanding. Test-driven development, , or TDD, is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring. TDD isn’t perfect, of course. Why TDD Works.

Effective Software Testing – A Developer’s Guide

Henrik Warne

It starts with understanding what the program is supposed to do, and to identify the types and domains of the inputs and outputs. Some inputs are equivalent – they result in the same path through the program, even if the values are different. Finally, path coverage means that all possible paths of the program have been executed.

Here’s Why You Should Write Unit Tests

Modus Create

The time to fix these issues could’ve been used to build new features or optimize the existing system. Bear in mind that fixing bugs without running tests could also introduce new bugs into the system. Unit testing is an integral part of extreme programming.

The Programmer's Paradox

The debate has ended, and the conclusion is: TDD works. Test Driven Development (TDD) for those that are unfamiliar with it, is more or less a "game" to be played while coding, with a set of three "laws" orienting a programmer's efforts. "The jury is in. The controversy is over. Sorry." -- Robert C. Ideas meant to be popular.
