My Google search for "test driven design" got me Test-driven_development as a first hit. That is a short article that hits the high points and directly answers your objection - the tests fail until the code they test is written and is correct (at least in the eyes of the tests).

TDD is a technique I use occasionally, but in each case I've used it the result has been spectacular success. When I have used TDD I've also used code coverage to ensure a sensibly high proportion of the code is tested. In my experience the result was seeming slow progress, but substantially bug free and easy to maintain (i.e. high quality) code as a result.

Not all projects can use TDD. My day job is writing hardware specific embedded code for in house developed systems. Testing software embedded in hardware is challenging!

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
