Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, and David Heinemeier Hansson debate the tradeoffs, benefits, and design impacts of test-driven development.
"TDD as One True Way" versus "TDD as devil-spawned tempter" is not a productive contrast. Most of us have similar goals for development: confidence, impact, challenge, belonging. Test-driven development is one path toward these goals, but there are many other paths. This conversation in six parts explores tradeoffs in development, places TDD in those tradeoffs, and gives you perspective with which you can decide for yourself how you want to program. Speakers: Martin Fowler Kent Beck David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)What people say. Recommended as a nuanced debate on when to use test-driven development and how to approach mocking.
