Why you must use TDD now!
#1about 5 minutes
Introduction and overview of the TDD talk
The speaker introduces himself, his company Avanade, and outlines the structure of the talk on test-driven development.
#2about 1 minute
The challenges of traditional code-first development
Traditional development cycles where testing happens after implementation often lead to bugs slipping into production.
#3about 1 minute
What is test-driven development (TDD)
TDD is a software development process that converts requirements into test cases before writing the actual implementation code.
#4about 2 minutes
The core TDD workflow is red-green-refactor
The TDD process involves writing a failing test (red), writing just enough code to make it pass (green), and then cleaning up the code (refactor).
#5about 6 minutes
Live demo of writing a failing test first
A live coding demo begins by creating a .NET Web API project and writing a test for a health check endpoint that fails as expected.
#6about 2 minutes
Demo of making the first test pass
The demo shows how to write the minimal amount of code, including a controller and configuration, to make the initial health check test pass.
#7about 5 minutes
Demo of testing a calculator's add endpoint
The TDD process is applied to a calculator's add endpoint, starting with a simple test and then adding more test cases to expose flaws in a naive implementation.
#8about 4 minutes
Demo of fixing implementation using test feedback
By running multiple test cases, subtle bugs like incorrect parameter names are identified and fixed, ensuring the implementation meets all requirements.
#9about 4 minutes
Evaluating the benefits and challenges of TDD
TDD leads to testable solutions and cleaner architecture but requires discipline and team buy-in to overcome the initial temptation to code first.
