The groundbreaking book
Design Driven Testing
brings sanity back to the software development process by flipping around the concept of Test Driven Development (TDD)-restoring the concept of using testing to verify a design instead of pretending that unit tests are a replacement for design. Anyone who feels that TDD is "Too Damn Difficult" will appreciate this book.
Design Driven Testing
shows that, by combining a forward-thinking development process with cutting-edge automation, testing can be a finely targeted, business-driven, rewarding effort. In other words, you'll learn how to test smarter, not harder.
- Applies a feedback-driven approach to each stage of the project lifecycle.
- Illustrates a lightweight and effective approach using a core subset of UML.
- Follows a real-life example project using Java and Flex/ActionScript.
- Presents bonus chapters for advanced DDTers covering unit-test antipatterns (and their opposite, "test-conscious" design patterns), and showing how to create your own test transformation templates in Enterprise Architect.
