Test Driven Development (TDD) is not a new concept. In fact, the idea of test-first, code-second has been around for many years. In the latest release of Microsoft's premier developer tool, Visual Studio 2005 Team System many new features have been added, including features for testing software. What does this mean to you, the serious developer? It means you now have integrated unit testing that can be leveraged for Test Driven Development.

 

What some experts said about Test-Driven Development:

2. The best way that I know to write code is to shape it from the beginning with tests” – Ron Jeffries

3. “Fewer defects, less debugging, more confidence, better design, and higher productivity in my programming practice” – Kent Beck
