Re: [TDD] If you could get your colleagues to read just one book on TDD, which would it be?
I would highly recommend "refactoring to patterns" by Josh Kerievsky. A true gem that seems to have fallen out of our memory. It is fantastic, though.

+1 Possibly the best narrative example of what TDD feels like. Although, Kent's videos from Pragmatic Programmer are also quite illuminating.

There's about 15 books on TDD (and a few on Refactoring). I would expect a TDD master to have read 6 of them. -- C. Keith Ray * https://dl.dropbox.com/u/686328/keith_ray_resume.pdf *

You also can't go wrong with industriallogic.com elearning. Not a book per se, but a great way to learn with some practice built in (full disclosure: I used to work for them. I don't anymore, but they

Depends on the person, but GOOS and the RSpec book come to mind.

Re: [TDD] Erroneous Assertion about TDD
Charlie, Drawing a parallel to sonnets from TDD - very nice! But perhaps the even shorter haiku would be an even better analogy? (Besides, it's hard to think of myself as the Shakespeare of

Re: Implementation of game tree search using TDD
Well, I'll distinguish two versions of "getting there". One is "How would I invent this algorithm in small steps (e.g., from a simple static evaluator)?" That one is a bit hit-or-miss for me. The

Re: Implementation of game tree search using TDD
Hi Bill, Even Tic Tac Toe has a large branching factor. 9 moves at the start with each of these 9 moves having 8 possible moves, etc. Yes, there is a lot of transposition (where the same board occurs)

Re: Implementation of game tree search using TDD
Thank you for the replies. Tracking the traversal state in the tree is definitely the complication. I now have an ITreeNode interface that looks like this: public interface ITreeNode { int GetValue();

Re: [TDD] Implementation of game tree search using TDD
Adding to Matteo's suggestion, I find it useful in this situation to define a string representation of the test tree. The implementing class can parse the string to create trees to pass to the method

Re: [TDD] Implementation of game tree search using TDD
Hi, my thoughts: - Building a minimal implementation of the tree need not mean that you're not testing in isolation. Define an AbstractTree class with an abstract children() method. It's much easier
