TDD Regular Code/Multithreaded Code!

About this Presentation
There are two reasons to do TDD. One is to ensure the code meets and continues to meet
the expectations at the unit of code level. The second, and equally significant, reason is to
drive the design of the code. Realizing the first benefit is rather mechanical and comes with rigor and discipline. Realizing the second benefit, however, requires quite some hard work and rethinking. It takes a bit of unlearning to achieve this goal.
In this workshop, rather than preaching the benefits of TDD, we will take an application and develop it using TDD. Developing regular code using TDD is already hard. To a number of us, driving Multithreaded code using TDD is simply unimaginable. Our exercise will help you learn ways to tackle quite easily what appears to be an unsurmountable task for both regular and multithreaded code.
