Test-driven development (TDD) is an advanced technique of using automated unit tests to drive the design of software and force decoupling of dependencies. The result of using this practice is a comprehensive suite of unit tests that can be run at any time to provide feedback that the software is still working.
Methodology / Approach
- TDD evolved from eXtreme Programming Methodology -http://www.xprogramming.com/xpmag/whatisxp.htm#test
- Listing of xUnit Test Runners - www.xprogramming.com/software.htm
- TestDriven.com – www.testdriven.com
- http://www.parlezuml.com/ (Good UML & TDD reference)
