What is Test Driven Development (TDD) and how can it speed up your software development? In this Making Tech Better podcast episode, I spoke to @GeePawHill about why he loves TDD so much and how he has spread that love to software teams all over the world.

My live-coding #TDD with #SwiftUI will be back next Sunday. Follow me at twitch.tv/qcoding to get the go-live notification.
The last session was so good, I spent time adding chapter timestamps. If you can't join live, subscribe to my YouTube channel for my next video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAd8AEJIVyw

I find that the issue Kent Beck talks about here:

https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/why-tdd-doesnt-lead-to-dumb-code

... is very fundamental to TDD and centers around a couple of commonly missed aspects of it (even though they are spelled out in Test Driven Development by Example)

1- When passing the test, there is a Fake It approach you can take if you don't see the Obvious Implementation right away before you move on to Triangulation and add more tests.

2- When you are using Fake It, the Refactoring step is not primarily about making the code "nicer", but generalizing by removing the duplication between the test and the production code. This is only refactoring in the sense that you are staying green. That's why the step is not optional and getting to green using the simplest, naive implementation is a core part of the process.

I think not using Fake It is one of the two main reasons people fail with TDD (the other is not making writing more testable code a design goal.)

_Event-Sourcing Live Coding_

I've been live coding an example #EventSourcing app in #Java (via #TDD) w/o an ES library.

This week I'll continue to code the "Time-Traveling Event Viewer" to view the state at any point in time.

Join me Mon-Thur 18:00 UTC https://jitterted.stream

Design in #TDD https://open.substack.com/pub/tidyfirst/p/design-in-tdd

@GeePawHill

One danger of a too transparent box used for TDD is that tests get too coupled to a specific implementation and thus hinder refactoring and evolution. ie, taking the soft out of software.

Sure you are aware of that, but novices easily fall into that trap, when they not have learned enough about refactoring towards simpler code.

LIVE CODING STREAM THIS WEEK

After an awesome time at #ExploreDDD, I'm back home and ready to continue working on JitterTix, the example #EventSourcing app in #Java, #TDD, a tiny bit of #SpringBoot and no other libraries (well, a few small ones, but not for the EventSourcing).

AceUnit v3.0.0 is officially released!

Enjoy a new world of unit testing C with automatic test discovery!

Je suis un développeur logiciel expérimenté (20+ :) indépendant, mentor et coach, je serai disponible en février.
Si vous cherchez un coup de main pour dompter une base de code sauvage, préparer une grosse évolution ou plus généralement développer un logiciel maintenable, c'est le bon moment :)

J'interviens principalement de deux façons:
* intégré à l'équipe, je fais le taf avec vous en pair programming
* et/ou en accompagnement, je vous guide dans vos réflexions et l'implémentation (qq heures/semaine)

* tous langages/technos/environnements
* remote only ou Ambert
* déplacement ponctuel ok
* freelance

_Event-Sourcing Example App_

Join me in 1 hour (18:00 UTC) as I continue work on JitterTix, an example app demonstrating how to do #EventSourcing in #Java (and #SpringBoot) without ES libraries, but with #TDD.

_JitterTix Concert Ticketing System_

On my #Java live coding stream this week I've been working on a simple concert event ticketing system that is based on #EventSourcing. I have several reasons I've been doing this (putting my #TDD Game on hold).

- Also set status when not complete or green (tx Ron)
- Setup-free .gitignore (tx Llewellyn)
- Refactorings (tx Llewellyn, Petar)
- TrunkVer (tx Raimo & Chris)
