  • Encapsulating Test Data and Expectations

    I love it when I find new ways to improve my testing ability. In this case, it's not really new, just new to me. I'm referring The Object Mother or Test Data Builder patterns used to encapsulate objects you need for testing. I started playing with these patterns to simplify my tests and I found...

  • Naming your test methods

    Today I had an opportunity to go to the TDD Coding Dojo hosting by Chad Myers and Ray Houston and I had a blast. Some of the attendees have been doing TDD for a while (some have even migrated to instituting BDD into their development process) and some of them were trying to see what TDD was all about...
