What does TDD in the real world look like? Test Driven Development is often taught with simple coding problems called “Coding Katas” but what does it look like for a real project, solving real problems? This is a tricky question to answer, because part of the problem is that TDD encourages us to write simpler code, so the code often looks “too simple” even when it is not.
In this episode software developer Dave Farley, author of “Continuous Delivery” and “Modern Software Engineering” explores TDD with an example of some code from a real open source java project that he is working on, and demonstrates several important ideas and approaches to this most effective of development practices.
