Ask HN: Do you practice Test Driven Development?

• PaulHoule 13y ago
  Yes

  Yes. For me the tests are actually part of the class, which is one of the reasons I implemented my own test framework (https://github.com/mpw/MPWTest https://github.com/mpw/MPWTest). The other reason is that at the time I started, there was no other test framework for Objective-C... I recently saw a new language that actually makes tests part of the class definition, so maybe that idea is gaining some traction. TDD also meshes well with "hexagonal architecture".

  TDD is suitable for routine, predictable projects with predictable, well described in advance interfaces. For less predictable, more challenging, more unique, more consuming and more intensely creative development TDD is a drag. And so is plethora of many other buzzwords invented in the last 8-12 yrs.

  Yes, I practice TDD. Hrm? My coverage is only 60% you say? About that... ;)
