Extreme Programming: Development through Testing

The return of the famous bestseller. Elegant, flexible, and understandable code that is easy to modify, works correctly, and does not surprise its creators with unpleasant surprises. Is this really possible? To achieve this goal, try testing the program even... before it is written. This paradoxical idea is the foundation of the TDD (Test-Driven Development) methodology. Nonsense? Don't be quick to jump to conclusions. By examining the application of TDD through the development of real software code, the author demonstrates the simplicity and power of this methodology. The book includes two software projects entirely developed using TDD. Following the examples is an extensive catalog of techniques for working in TDD style, as well as patterns and refactorings related to TDD. The book will be useful for any programmer looking to increase their productivity and enjoy programming.
