Three Laws
1. You may not write production code until
you have a failing test
2. You may not write more of a unit test than
is sufficient to fail
3. You may not write more production code
than is sufficient to pass

The Prime Directive
§ Your test code should be as good and well maintained as your
production code.
o Succinct
o Clear
o Simple
§ However, do not worry about efficiency in test code

Test One Concept In Each Test
§ Pass/Fail should immediately convey what was tested and the result

F.I.R.S.T.
§ Fast
§ Independent
§ Repeatable
§ Self-validating (boolean output)
§ Timely

Matchers
§ toBe

Living with acceptance tests: Beyond Write-Once (XP NYC)Daniel Wellman

The document discusses strategies for maintaining acceptance tests over time beyond just writing them once. It suggests treating acceptance tests like production code by revising and refactoring them as the system evolves. Tests should describe what is being tested in a declarative style rather than specifying implementation details so their implementation can change. As a project and domain maturity, acceptance tests may move from end-to-end implementations to using the domain model directly to run faster. The test suite should also be periodically evaluated to determine if restructuring or new tests are needed.

Refactoring legacy codePablo Neves Machado

The document discusses refactoring legacy code. It defines legacy code as code without tests that is difficult to understand, maintain and change. Refactoring improves code quality by making it more readable and maintainable through techniques like adding tests and breaking dependencies. Some challenges are that refactoring requires tests but tests often require refactoring first. The document recommends starting with small changes using techniques like Sprout Method to add new features as untestable code and Wrap Class to override methods in testable classes.

Agile Patterns: Estimation - Stephen Forte | FalafelCON 2014FalafelSoftware

The document discusses agile estimation techniques. It defines estimation as "the calculated approximation of a result which is usable even if input data may be incomplete or uncertain." Traditionally, estimates become an unbreakable schedule where any deviation is seen as bad. However, agile estimation throws this logic away and always re-estimates a project after each iteration. Using techniques like user stories, story points, planning poker, and velocity, agile estimation embraces the uncertainty in estimates and sees deviations not as failures but as opportunities for more accurate estimations.
