Test-Driven Development in Microsoft .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
