Test Driven Development in .NET
With the clarity and precision intrinsic to the Test-Driven Development (TDD) process itself, experts James Newkirk and Alexei Vorontsov demonstrate how to implement TDD principles and practices to drive lean, efficient coding - and better design. The best way to understand TDD is to see it in action, and Newkirk and Vorontsov walk step by step through
TDD and refactoring in an n-tier, .NET-connected solution. And, as members of the development team for NUnit, a leading unit-testing framework for Microsoft .NET, the authors can offer matchless insights on testing in this environment - ultimately making their expertise your own. Test first - and drive ambiguity out of the development process: *Document your code with tests, rather than paper *Use test lists to generate explicit requirements and completion criteria *Refactor - and improve the design of existing code *Alternate programmer tests with customer tests *Change how you build UI code - a thin layer on top of rigorously tested code *Use tests to make small, incremental changes - and minimize the debugging process *Deliver software that's verifiable, reliable, and robust
