Now there's a practical guide to TDD that takes you beyond the basic concepts. And David Astels' “Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide,” built elegantly on that foundation. TDD is based on a simple idea: Write tests for your code before you write the code itself. The Observer pattern (also known as Publish/ Subscribe, or simply pubsub ) is a design pattern that allows us to observe the state of an object and Setting up the Environment. Practical TDD: The Observer Pattern. However, this "simple" idea takes skill and judgment to do well. A recent title now joins these standout works. Many books have been written on the subject, including books by Kent Beck (Test Driven Development), Johannes Link (Unit Testing in Java), and David Astels (Test Driven Development: A Practical Guide). TDD is an iterative development process where each iteration starts by writing a test which forms a part of the specification we are implementing. Dave Astel's otherwise very approachable work on TDD, Test-Driven Development — A Practical Guide, seems to imply that tests are the principal goal of TDD. Book: Test Driven Development by Example (Kent Beck) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321146530/ambysoftinc. This example uses JsTestDriver to run tests. Test-driven development A Practical Guide - a slow and step-by-step walk through developing a complete, albeit small, app. A setup guide is available from the official web site. I'm hoping to follow a book that guides its readers through the agile process to develop a application using TDD. And I'm sure other instructional sources do, too. I'm trying to wrap my head around TDD, specifically the development part.
