Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide David Astels
Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR

Testing afterwards doesn't guide how you write your code, with the exception of making it testable. Finished test-driven development: A Practical Guide by David Astels. Part 2 discusses various tools and techniques for doing TDD. Dobb's editorial on the universal acceptance of unit testing wonders: Why not TDD, too? Test.Driven.Development.A.Practical.Guide.pdf. Oh well, this book (Test-driven development: a practical guide by Dave Astels) is not so new. It seems plausible that someone . The practical “problem” with TDD is that unit tests are code calling code, and therefore for the unit tests to even compile, let alone run, you need the target code to be called within the unit tests to exist in some form. Part 1 introduces the reader to test-driven development. This now gives us practical experience with the problem and solution. It's assumed there will be a certain amount of refactoring later as you learn more about the design but once again I'll have tests to guide me through that. Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide. I'm a big advocate of testing, and although I won't claim to be an expert on the topic, I have to question whether it's necessary that tests drive the design. Yet, I believe that not so many developers (including myself) have really acknowledged the messages it conveys.
