Sorry, it's been almost 4 years. I've '''done''' a lot of unit testing, but I haven't gotten around to '''writing''' about it.
The weakness of the article is that it doesn't say much about choosing what to test (i.e., making test cases), the relationship to [[refactoring]], or the influence of the testing-refactoring cycle on design. The whole idea of test-driven development (TDD) is that one can forego the old idea of Big Design Up Front in favor of a more agile approach that:
#saves time
#delivers more bang for the buck
#is more satisfying to the end user

Sorry, it's been almost 4 years. I've done a lot of unit testing, but I haven't gotten around to writing about it.

The weakness of the article is that it doesn't say much about choosing what to test (i.e., making test cases), the relationship to refactoring, or the influence of the testing-refactoring cycle on design. The whole idea of test-driven development (TDD) is that one can forego the old idea of Big Design Up Front in favor of a more agile approach that:

  1. saves time
  2. delivers more bang for the buck
  3. is more satisfying to the end user

How can I write about this? --Ed Poor 22:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Compare and contrast Agile software development, Waterfall software development (or BDUF), etc. ? There's a good Agile Methodology mailing list.
Maybe at least some lemmas -- or more -- on use cases and the like.
