I am heartened by the surge in TDD training. To me TDD is the 2nd most important thing for devs to learn-ATDD being the 1st TDD’s not just the automation of unit testing. TDD’s formulation of tests, prior to code, drives design. High quality code is easy … Continue reading "What Is TDD?".
This is a pre-release excerpt of The Art of Agile Development, Second Edition , to be published by O’Reilly in 2021. Test-driven development, , or TDD, is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring. Done well, TDD eliminates an entire class of programming errors. TDD isn’t perfect, of course. Why TDD Works.
It enhances your existing Agile approach , synthesizing Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD). For each team member, ask: Are they familiar with BDD or TDD? Do you have Agile-certified team members and technical leads? Net), or Behave (Python). What’s BDD?
import Figure from '@/components/global/figure.astro'; import TestXs from 'src/content/blog/misconceptions-with-test-driven-development/images/test-xs.jpg'; In the past few weeks I've heard several misconceptions raised about Test Driven Development: Does TDD really work? TDD isn't useful for helping to design the architecture of programs.
With a name like TEST-driven development you’d expect TDD is mostly about testing. This is why the 1st mantra … Continue reading "Why TDD is more about design, emergence & sustainability than testing". Especially when the end result is tests.
First for the techies: This book is meant to be a lightweight companion to the TDD practitioner. These pages are loosely organized, except where … Continue reading "Lean-Agile Newsletter – June 20, 2019". Each entry is a page long at most.

TDD tests need to be run frequently. As an agile process, TDD needs to be responsive and flexible. Part of this is the ability to keep very short the feedback loop between tests and production. To run tests frequently without excessive cost requires that they must be executed quickly.
This is a pre-release excerpt of The Art of Agile Development, Second Edition , to be published by O’Reilly in 2021.

Solid automation testing coverage coupled with CI/CD (and, ideally, integrated into TDD and/or DevOps) is also essential. It serves as a helpful safety net once you start eliminating tech debt: your tests will always show what’s broken, and you won’t have to pay the price of increasing the duration of regression testing.
He was involved in the early Agile movement and one of his passions is helping organizations recognize the impact of their internal organization and communication on the long term viability of their software products – putting interactions in place to prevent the accumulation of technical debt and lost business opportunities.
