Test Driven Development
Derick Rethans (eZ Systems)
5:15pm Tuesday, 09/16/2008
Best Practices, The Basics Hall B

I will start with introducing what testing is, and which parts of a web application can be tested with different methods. I will continue with introducing the test-driven development model – as counter model against traditional software development models, followed by a summary of how a development team could be organized to produce better quality code. After a very quick introduction into Unit Testing and the benefits and problems it brings I will conclude my session with a number of case studies of major and smaller software development teams regarding Test-Driven Development and what it did to their code quality.
