UNCLE BOB’S Three LAWS OF TDD

1. You are not allowed to write any production code unless it is to make a failing unit test pass.

2. You are not allowed to write any more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail; and compilation failures are failures.

3. You are not allowed to write any more production code than is sufficient to pass the one failing unit test.

MYTHS

• All about unit tests

• Testing methods, not behavior

• Too slow; I don’t have time for this!

Limitations•New language /framework•Database & UI•Culture
