Test Driven Development - What? Why? And How?

TDD is one of those very rare software engineering practices that can make a real difference to the quality of your code. It is really more about Test Driven Design than it is about testing. The ’test-driven’ part of ’test-driven development’ is best practised by seeing each test as a mini-specification, this was the idea that gave birth to BDD, and is a useful way to think of things, so less ’TDD vs BDD’ and more ’BDD *is* TDD’.

So what is Test Driven Development really? Why should you be using TDD in your regular development and how should you get started with it?

In this episode, Dave Farley explores the What, Why and How of TDD and makes his case for why you should adopt it as a cornerstone of your approach to software development.
