Test Driven Development in Java: Live and Uncensored
One of the barriers to wider adoption of TDD is that it is best taught from within a team, and the technical challenges of writing tests frequently thwart those looking to teach themselves.
This session will be a live demonstration of Test Driven Development in Java, using Eclipse and JUnit, aimed at those new to TDD and looking to learn. Audience members will be encouraged to participate as we walk through common scenarios that frequently discourage new TDDers, and demonstrate some techniques for overcoming them in a live coding session.
