In TDD, you sometimes write code that looks obviously wrong on purpose — like hard-coding "0" instead of real logic. It feels uncomfortable. That discomfort is actually the point. Here's why. https://qualitycoding.org/swiftui-tdd-fake-it-till-you-make-it-part-2/ #TDD

@afilina The magic of “that's all it really needs to do" is an underappreciated aspect of #TDD

Want to refactor your SwiftUI views without worrying you'll break something? Here's the first test that makes that possible. https://qualitycoding.org/swiftui-tdd-fake-it-till-you-make-it-part-2/ #TDD

And an hour after posting, I stumble on this transcript by @kentbeck sayimg something similar : people using #TDD as a moral cudgel contributed to it going out of fashion (I dont think it ever was, it has remained a well kept secret until recently) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/why-did-tdd-go-out-of-fashion-kent-beck-ugcPost-7480247871678816256-qlD6/

I've just released AceUnit v3.1.0.
AceUnit is a unit test framework for C.
Enjoy!

I am working on a project that uses Stripe and I need to check that required text elements are contained in the invoice PDFs, however Stripe's invoice fonts map punctuation (-, (, :) to NUL in the PDF text layer, so text extracted from the PDF file using e.g. pdf.js has 2026-06-01 printed as 2026\x0006\x0001 which makes writing good assertions hard. I switched to using https://aws.amazon.com/textract/, which OCRs the document and preserves punctuation, spaces and line breaks. Super convenient!

Just heard that a third person thinks that #TDD is a good idea.
Outside of my own bubble.

🙈 You wouldn't ship backend code without tests. Why are we shipping SwiftUI without unit tests? Let's fix that. https://qualitycoding.org/swiftui-tdd-first-failing-test-part-1/ #TDD

RE: https://mastodon.cloud/@jasongorman/116640520323934787

I can highly recommend this workshop!
I’ve been working as a software developer for 15 years and have attended #TDD workshops before. Here, I learnt a great deal in just two hours.
The price is a bargain.
If you’re lucky, it’ll be a small group again and you’ll get plenty of access to Jason’s wisdom.

Now, it's either something about the evening of June 2nd, or 38 people really is market saturation within my social media reach.

Still plenty of spaces available on June 2nd 18:45 BST for self-funding folks who want to learn TDD.

Last TDD workshop of this run, last one at this price.

Much more than just red-green-refactor!

The box of boxes is here! If you're going to be at DDD Europe, SoCraTes UK, or in Munich and want to save on shipping, contact me NOW before they're all claimed!

If you're in North America, I'm ready to ship it to you: https://tdd.cards

Shipping box with 8 newly manufactured copies of "JitterTed's TDD Game"! The hex tiles are separately packaged as it's my job to punch them out and assemble everything.

Munich folks:

I have a free day in Munich June 29, I can give a talk at your company, meetup, or user group, or we can play a game about #TDD.

I'd love to share my experience with Event Sourcing and Java, or facilitate a session playing JitterTed's TDD Game.

Let me know!

"Don't put loops in your tests" the advice goes. While there are times when a small for loop might be useful, for gosh sakes, don't use a do..while loop.

And please don't ask me what triggered this post.

p.s. Your for loop might also be hiding a deficiency in your test, aka a Test Smell. Might be fine, but worth a little more attention.

SwiftUI TDD (Part 1): Writing Your First Failing Test

Hello! #introduction

I just migrated from https://hachyderm.io/@mattwynne which was 👍🏻, but I have been meaning to move over here for some time because I love the initiative to democratically run our social media!

I'm from the UK originally, now based in Nelson, BC.

I'm a generalist/polyglot programmer. I lead the https://github.com/cucumber #opensource project and I'm known for coaching teams in technical practices like #TDD/#BDD and #EnsembleProgramming.

Also #SkiTouring and generally #MountainLiving

#PairProgramming (if you'd like to) #TDD #JUnit5 #Kotlin #Java
