It seems he took the title of a different Fucci 2016 paper, it should say "A Dissection of the Test-Driven Development Process: Does It Really Matter to Test-First or to
Test-Last?"
This paper contains both the quote and is done on 39 professionals. This seems like an easy mistake to make and not something I feel has an impact on the trustworthiness of his talk
- infocollector 5y agoThanks! Seems like short cycles of development including interleaving testing - is the key in this paper. TDD might just achieve this by a fluke, but it should help that - unless you do this TLD or even test addition in cycles. Any thoughts on that?
- preommr 5y ago> TDD might just achieve this by a fluke I am confused by this comment and the overall sentiment in the video. Short dev cycles isn't an accidental byproduct - it's literally one of the key parts of tdd. The first google result for tdd has this: > Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test, and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards.
