Going thru this lengthy of workshop series on TDD, I hoped I have covered enough here on positives impact from TDD approach. It takes a developer to practice it to see its worth.
Often in software development, we fall into traps like: -
Lengthy requirement gathering period.
Lengthy conceptualizing and creating over detail blueprint (architecture).
Over design/engineering a software component at early stages.
Lost focus on interactivity between requirement/conceptual model/design phases due to lengthy period.
Less integrability due to disconnected phases.
All these can be nicefully addressed with Agile and TDD.
Agile and TDD are just complementing each other and bringing developers closer to users and hence business.
Final question, why would one insert a break point at several area to debug when a defect was raised? Write a unit test to automate that checks please. Thank you.
