Test-driven development (TDD) has become a polarizing development practice. Claims about TDD range from “absurd” to “essential” to “damaging” to “joyous.” In this talk, we’ll take a step back and look at TDD in context, including its history, current practice, and potential future.
Outline of the session:
- History of TDD
- Canon TDD
- Variations: TCR, Exploratory, Mocks, Top-down, Bottom-up, Unit vs integration, Up-front
- Effects of TDD - anxiety, scope management, defect density, trust, responsibility
