  Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests

  by Steve Freeman, Nat Pryce

  Summary Mock Objects is an approach to Test-Driven Development that changes the way programmers think about code. It encourages them to think about how objects interact with each other, rather than just how they work in isolation - as the founders of Object Oriented programming intended. Objects should be defined in terms of what they do, not what they are. Using Mock Objects with Test-Driven Development... (more)

  Test-Driven Development

  By Example

  by Kent Beck

  Quite simply, test-driven development is meant to eliminate fear in application development. While some fear is healthy (often viewed as a conscience that tells programmers to "be careful!"), the author believes that byproducts of fear include tentative, grumpy, and uncommunicative programmers who are unable to absorb constructive criticism. When programming teams buy into TDD, they immediately see positive... (more)
