(Having broken my share of code over the years,) I'm personally passionate about testing, and Test-Driven development in particular.
TDD: Is it Xtreme? We don’t think so. Any practice that creates an iterative, incremental path to adding value for your end users is a natural fit for any Continuous Delivery pipeline.
This morning on Continuous Discussions we talked Test-Driven Development with a team of panelists who know what it takes to succeed with TDD, and why you should make the effort. On the live episode, we posed 4 questions to our speakers:
- What are the measurable benefits of TDD?
- What are some of the challenges of TDD?
- What are the alternatives to TDD?
- and finally- we asked our speakers to share a TDD horror story with us.
Check out the recording of the episode to learn how you too can leverage TDD, and what are the best-practice patterns and processes teams can embrace to add testing earlier in their flow .
