Test Driven Development: By Example (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (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.

Do I need to review? :)When its Kent Beck, you are sure to learn few interesting and practical aspect of software development. :)Have not read the entire book as of now, But, this is the book you must read if you are considering TDD seriously.

You may not get the immediate satisfaction of having gathered a huge amount of knowledge after reading this book, but some practices illustrated in this book are very important and useful. And once you start putting to use the learnings from this book, you will start to realise the power of TDD, especially in complex projects. I would have enjoyed this book even more if the subject of TDD had been treated with a little more rigour. I'd definitely recommend reading "Clean Code" along with this to get maximum benefit.

Nice book to start with TDD

TDD should be studied and practiced using this book.

Worth reading for every software engineer l.

I bought this book for content only, but they never mentioned it is old used one, I am expecting new book but got the old used one. Not happy with the given product

The book covers most of the basics that needs to be known for Test driven development.If you are starting to learn TDD, then this is a book you should opt for.Though, being a little experience in TDD, I didn't find this book very useful. It doesn't speak about development of a new functionality or extending something in a existing system (with weak tests or no tests) using TDD. Also the example taken is very basic, without mocks, stubs and matchers, without which testing is very hard in the practical systems.Go for it if you are a beginner, otherwise move on to some advanced book.

Essencial para desenvolvedores. Vá direto a fonte.

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.

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 ;-)

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!
