Test Driven Development: Part 2
- 1. CodeAndroid meetup Test Driven Development
- 2. Objectives Brief history of TDD Do a very basic test
- 3. Apologies upfront: Easily excited Talk fast Australian accent Large area to explain Questions, Slow down
- 4. “ The fundamental problem with program maintenance is that fixing a defect has a substantial (20-50 %) chance of introducing another defect.” Mythical Man Month
- 5. Today: Test Driven Development
- 6. Test Driven Development History
- 7. Toyota Production System by Taiichi Ohno Competing with US companies was difficult. Smaller production runs of more models Waste when production runs finished and there were left over parts Ohno reverse engineered the production line and created “Just in time” manufacturing
- 8. How is making cars anything like making software ? Complex processes
- 9. Unable to be “explained” to the layman
- 10. Like Ohno, we have waste Time
- 11. Money
- 12. Energy
- 13. Traditional model: Implementation Requirements Design Verification Maintenance
- 14. Unsurprisingly... As a programmer, you will be caught in the waterfall model.
- 15. Your manager/your client will have provided the specs, and you now need to “follow the process”
- 16. You are a cog in the machine.
- 17. Manufacturing & construction industries Software has requirements that are never in spec. Requirements evolve over time Software developers are rarely domain experts BDUF meant changes later on were costly Waterfall model is based on “Physical Design”
- 18. Manufacturing & construction industries BDUF meant changes later on were costly Software is difficult to change in maintenance Two teams same project.
- 19. How do you do it ?
- 20. The rules of fight club. 1. Write new code only if an automated test has failed.
- 22. “ These are two simple rules, but they generate complex individual and group behavior with technical implications” Kent Beck
- 23. Unsurprisingly... As a programmer, you will be caught in the waterfall model.
- 24. Your manager/your client will have provided the specs, and you now need to “follow the process”
- 25. You are a cog in the machine.
- 26. FAIL FAIL Writing massive amounts of tests up front is “time expensive”, so with a goal in mind you can follow this flow chart. (Everyone loves flow charts) Add a test Run the tests Change Run the tests
- 27. Tests shouldn't take long to write. Tests shouldn't take long to run. The drive the “development” of the application. Write what it takes to make the test pass, and that is all. YNGNIA

- 31. CodeAndroid.org Android Developer/User Group Grassroots effort by developers Promote Android development around this region (SEA, Oceania) You can join us on Facebook, Twitter (codeandroid), IRC (#codeandroid @ irc.freenode.net) Special thanks to Google for the venue and food.
