Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide

Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide enables developers to write software that's simpler, leaner, more reliable ... just plain better. Now, there's a TDD guide focused on real projects, real developers, real implementation challenges, and real code. Renowned Agile development expert Dave Astels shows TDD at work in a start-to-finish project written in Java and using the JUnit testing framework. You'll learn how "test first" works, why it works, what obstacles you'll encounter, and how to transform TDD's promise into reality. - Relentlessly practical! Full of downloadable code examples, hands-on exercises, and a fully hyperlinked version of the "resources" appendix - Introduces powerful TDD tools and techniques - includig key JUnit extensions, presented by their creators (Scott Ambler, Tim Bacon, Mike Bowler, Mike Clark, Bryan Dollery, James Newkirk, Bob Payne, Kay Pentacost, and Jens Uwe Pipka)
