The document introduces Test-Driven Development (TDD) in agile programming, outlining its cycle of writing tests before code changes and emphasizing its role as a tool in the development process. It discusses reasons for TDD's unpopularity among developers and compares various agile methodologies including Extreme Programming, Scrum, and Dynamic Systems Development Method. Key takeaways highlight the importance of testing and iterative development while suggesting that TDD can be challenging for beginners but beneficial when properly implemented.

- 6. Summarising TDD ● Another tool for your toolbox ● Use as you need it ● Can be difficult for beginners ● Frameworks can help If it's worth building, it's worth testing. If it's not worth testing, why are you wasting your time working on it? Agile Programming Systems # TDD intro
- 7. Why TDD is Unpopular ● I can’t afford the time ● It’s just as effective to do Test-After ● I’m a developer: I write code, not tests ● The code I’m working on is untestable ● I don’t need tests: my code is perfect the first time ● I know I should; I just don’t Agile Programming Systems # TDD intro
- 8. Agile Programming Systems ● Extreme Programming Built around 12 basic practices ranging from pair programming to frequent refactoring, this approach is more prescriptive than the others. ● Scrum Based on the empirical process control model, Scrum programming relies on self-directed teams and dispenses with much advanced planning, task definition and management reporting. ● Crystal This approach empowers the team to define the development process and refine it in subsequent iterations until it's stable. ● Adaptive Based on adaptive rather than deterministic theories, this approach offers a series of frameworks to apply adaptive principles and encourage collaboration. ● Feature-Driven Development This model-driven, short-iteration process is built around the feature, a unit of work that has meaning for the client and developer and is small enough to be completed quickly. ● Dynamic Systems Development Method Conceived as a methodology for rapid application development, DSDM relies on a set of principles that include empowered teams, frequent deliverables, incremental development and integrated testing.
