If I've told you once....
So I'm reading this so-called "book" you wrote, and I'm enjoying it and all, and then I get to page /21 of 21/ and /22 of 22/ (thats what is says!). And what do I see ? testAddition fails because of

Re: [TDD] Tests as stories
I think it's important for interfaces to capture the semantics of the design (and hopefully the metaphor/problem domain as fully as possible), because this is something that the programmers need to

Tests as stories
There have been several complaints that the tests as written in the examples aren't minimal. There are parameters there that aren't used, methods with a null implementation, and so on. When I write

Solution is uploaded including the build.xml Etienne and I used to do the zipping. I hope that the steps between the zips are not too big. I assume you can do the "interpolation". We did not zip

Re: [TDD] a not on assert-first
we have a similar experience when using mock objects. The first question you ask is which object to verify (i.e. who would know that you've done the right thing). Once you've sorted that out, the rest

Re: [TDD] first example violates TDD?
"It is my considered opinion that the original example is a violation of TDD and that the alternative is superior in all aspects but one: it is much harder to show how to go off road." Re: violation.

Re: [TDD] first example violates TDD?
I gave the Dollar solution my honest best try and it just doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone send me the sequence of tests and code that gets you to a cleanly factored solution for USD + GBP

Re: [TDD] a not on assert-first
Alan: Ditto, not only do I find myself doing the assert first whenever I can't think of what to write (which is most of the time), but I have found it to be the fastest way to getting an "aha" moment

Opening story
I'm thinking of this as a motivating first chapter. Assume I tell the story in a bit more compelling way :-). Does it motivate the rest of the book? What seems to be missing without something like

Re: [TDD] Extra test needed?
I support your point. I assume you're not a kind of programmer that would follow a directive word-by-word. Neither do I. Chances are: nobody does, really. If forced to do so, we say goodbye. When

Re: [TDD] a not on assert-first

Re: [TDD] Extra test needed?
Triangulation is the process of finding a remote point by getting the angle to it from two points with known distance and orientation, and then doing that sin/cos/tangent stuff. A little picture would

Re: [TDD] Extra test needed?
The "negative" tests seem to be a variation or a special instance of the Triangulate pattern. I guess I have to give an example. The example is how CanooWebTest does selftesting by applying it to

Re: [TDD] Clean check-in Ant-Help
My model is that you push one button. If the system builds and the tests pass, the code is checked in. In the normal case the process should require no intervention. If this doesn't make sense the way
