Test Driven Development

A Webinar with Kevin Klinemeier

Agenda
TDD Overview Expected Values Test Driven Design Additional tools Getting Started

TDD
Spend ~3 days writing tests, then start the real work. Tell your PMO you need more time Fire your QA staff: no manual testing or system needed

Unit Testing
Testing of units, by code
One class or method Very few dependencies

Self-determining no interpretation needed

Categorize the Activity

Why First? Why in Agile, when we could never justify it before?

7 Wastes of Software Development

Partially Done Work Extra Features Relearning Handoffs Task Switching Delays Defects
Examples of partially done work: Untested code Uncoded documentation Undocumented code

Tests replace documentation They are TESTS!

7 Wastes of Software Development

Partially Done Work Extra Features Relearning Handoffs Task Switching Delays Defects Only develop code that satisfies the tests. Working sets of tests are a signal to collaborate & review

7 Wastes of Software Development

Partially Done Work Extra Features Relearning Handoffs Task Switching Delays Defects Tests show usage patterns Always up-to-date Facilitates ping-pongpairing

7 Wastes of Software Development

Partially Done Work Extra Features Relearning Handoffs Task Switching Delays Defects Imbedded context dump Small tasks minimize potential for interruption

7 Wastes of Software Development

Partially Done Work Extra Features Relearning Handoffs Task Switching Delays Defects Small tasks increase the frequency of feedback Mocking of external interfaces & dependencies maintains flow

7 Wastes of Software Development

Partially Done Work Extra Features Relearning Handoffs Task Switching Delays Defects Finds bugs early Jump-starts defect resolution to integration layer

Without TDD

Test Last Approach

Test Last - Really

Test Driven Development

Test Driven Design

Test Driven Design

How do we make testing cheaper? Design for testability.
Program to Interfaces Dependency Injection/IOC High Cohesion Low Coupling

Dynamic Mocks
Run-time implementation of interfaces
Example:
We want to test AccountService, but it needs an ICurrencyService. The concrete ICurrencyService needs lots of stuff. The ICurrencyService itself has 50 methods.
mocks = new Mockery(); mockCurrencyService = mocks.NewMock<ICurrencyService>(); accountService = new AccountService(mockCurrencyService); Expect.Once.On(mockCurrencyService). Method("GetConversionRate"). With("GBP", "CAD"). Will(Return.Value(2.20));

Continuous Integration
Scripted Build Integra on Build Machine Transparency & Con nuous Builds Automated Unit Tes ng

CI

Integration Build Machine

Server

Code Coverage
Track progress Target improvements Blame your coworkers

BDD
System Testing, System Integration Testing, and GUI Testing: TDD-style Toolset to parse natural language into automated actions, execute and report results Focuses on business-readable input and output. Maybe even business-writeable. Given (preconditions) When (actor+action) Then (observable result)

Getting Started
Practice Stick with it for at least 3 weeks Dont go it alone Measure progress & gaps with code coverage Expect learning pains

Your Questions
For any questions we arent able to cover, Ill be providing a written response.

Thanks! Kevin Klinemeier @agilekevin kevin@davisbase.com
