Presentation: "Test Driven Development, Take 2"

Time: Wednesday 15:40 - 16:30

Location: Store Sal

Abstract:

More and more developers are being drawn to Test Driven Development (TDD). It doesn't take much time or effort to get going, especially after you have passed that first hurdle of approaching development using the mantra of "red-green-refactor" instead of "code for days and then debug and test". But after a while you discover that TDD has more to it than just basic state-based testing.

In this session Erik will present in-depth discussions of topics such as interaction-based testing, dependency injection, classical vs mockist testing, test doubles, and the object mother pattern.
