Test Driven Development: By Example (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Beck)) Paperback – 8 Nov. 2002

Find a pdf online of this book Instead of the mobi version.You will learn a TON from this and your programming will be forever changed for the better. Plus, Ken is hilarious, so you will find yourself chuckling away on many pages.

TDD gold standard. Clear explanations, good process advice.Worth the time to read.

Mixed bag, the Book is great but the copy of the book I recieved is printed on some very thin paper. The size is somewhat correct but the weight is not even close to stated. In the 400g ballpark instead of 700g area. Cheaply printed pirate copy?!

I think this is a great book for those new to TDD, it's no that long so you can get through it pretty quickly and I think it does a good job of summarising the most important points.

In really simple and even humorous way Kent Beck explains the test-driven development approach. He convinced me, that it's reliable method to build powerful and dependable systems. Not only the programmer is sure, that the system is running the way it's supposed to, but also the code is kept clean and easy to maintain.

This is purely for the kindle version of the book, the formatting of the tables and code samples throughout is terrible and makes the whole book hard to read..

As a practitioner of TDD already, I found this book to be a good refresher. I can see it working as a good introduction for TDD beginners. The book also contains some pearls of wisdom for programming in general and which add context to the teachings.

The book is very nice because it has good layout and a simple structure which every time introduces the theory of the workj case which it introduces and it very educational with its examples and tasks.

Essencial para desenvolvedores. Vá direto a fonte.

This review is for the kindle edition. The content of the book itself is fine, but it's a code heavy book and the Kindle has absolutely no formatting. I tried slogging through and understand the code examples without the formatting, but 30% into the book I realized I am getting list too easily and gave up. And this is when I am very interested in the topic and find the content valuable.Don't waste your money on a kindle edition, it's completely useless.

Très bien écrit et à la hauteur de mes attentes. Thank you Kent Beck ;-)

Must read before deciding whether you want to adopt TDD or not. You will probably start doing TDD.After reading this book I find myself far less skeptical about the practical usability of TDD.

Ich kann Test Driven Development von Kent Beck jedem Entwickler wärmstens ans Herz legen! Ich habe zu dem Thema bereits diverse Bücher und Blogs gelesen, aber nichts hat mich so sehr überzeugt wie Herrn Becks Werk. Ich praktiziere TDD seit einigen Jahren recht erfolgreich, hatte jedoch immer wieder mit einigen Problemen zu kämpfen. Wie groß sollten meine Tests sein? Was darf ich - wenn überhaupt - ungetestet lassen? Wie viel Duplikation ist in Tests zugunsten der Lesbarkeit erlaubt? Was tue ich, wenn ich merke, dass der aktuelle Testfall nicht umsetzbar ist, weil ich erst noch andere Funktionalität brauche? Auf all diese Fragen gibt TDD von Kent Beck entweder ganz explizit oder durch sein Vorgehen in den zwei umfangreichen Beispielen Antworten. Der Autor schafft es, den TDD-Geist zu vermitteln und legt besonderen Wert auf den Refactoring-Schritt, der von vielen Entwicklern leider nicht ausreichend ernst genommen wird.TDD-Interessierte sollten sich dieses Buch nicht nur aus historischen Gründen durchlesen, sondern werden meiner Meinung nach massiv von der Lektüre des Werkes profitieren!
