Test-Driven Development (TDD) is at the heart of low-defect agile
software development, enabling incremental development and emergent
design without degrading quality. By allowing software teams to create
comprehensive regression tests that immediately pinpoint tiny errors, it
gives them confidence to enhance functionality with incredible speed.
Essential Test-Driven Development will help you discover how TDD
helps developers take back the joy of software development, as you
glimpse of the future of TDD and software development as a profession.
Leading TDD coach and instructor Rob Myers shares his experiences,
suggestions, and stories, plus focused and fun self-directed Java, C#,
C++, and JavaScript lab work from his acclaimed TDD course.
Throughout, this guide reflects the author's unsurpassed experience
practicing TDD on real production code and helping hundreds of teams
adopt TDD practices. Myers addresses both human motivations and
technical challenges, and stresses benefits to individual programmers,
not just companies. He also offers exceptional coverage of massive
refactoring and legacy code, reflecting the actual realities most
developers face.
