Test Driven Testing
1 like915 views
Test Driven Development (TDD) emphasizes writing code only to make failing tests pass, encouraging testers to explore within defined objectives. This approach promotes discipline by managing tasks in small, manageable chunks and reducing distractions, thus enhancing code quality through iterative cycles of testing and refactoring. The methodology aims to transform intuition into data-driven practices, facilitating continuous improvement in software development.

- 4. 1. 4 No production code unless it is to make a failing unit test pass @theBConnolly

- 8. 1. 8@theBConnolly No testing unless you have a defined objective
- 9. Let Testers Be explorers, 9@theBConnolly But... Manage that exploration as a series of expeditions
- 10. 2. 10 You are not allowed to write any more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail. @theBConnolly

- 13. 2. 13@theBConnolly Test only enough to satisfy the objective

- 15. Break down work into chunks that that fit into distraction free time boxes.
- 16. 3. 16 Write only enough production code to pass one failing unit test @theBConnolly
- 17. Hierarchy of Values 17 Building Discipline @theBConnolly Test small to Develop small Prioritize for willpower
- 18. 3. 18@theBConnolly No activities outside the objective
- 19. Tester Merit Badges 19@theBConnolly You don’t have to justify the value of testers
- 20. Find A Bug? 20@theBConnolly Stay within the boundaries of intent

- 26. “Figure out what test will best move your code towards completion. (Take as much time as you need. This is the hardest step for beginners.) -James Shore 26@theBConnolly Think:
- 28. “Making a commit at this point will improve your process even more. You will have autonomous chunks of work that are small and easy to understand. -Cecil Williams 28@theBConnolly Commit:
- 31. Think: 31@theBConnolly Consider the high level testing strategy Decide what task to pursue
- 32. Red: 32@theBConnolly Establish clear intentions and outcomes Decompose your goal
- 33. Green: 33@theBConnolly Stay true to your charter Take mindful action
- 34. Refactor: 34@theBConnolly Shift from intuition to data driven Unpack your observations
- 35. Commit: 35@theBConnolly Investigate, Log, Communicate Summarize Actions and Outcomes
