Test-Drive Development
Consider:
If you use FitNesse without using JUnit or NUnit to test-drive and refactor your code… [fitness.org]
Now: I realize FitNesse is about the acceptance test, but this pull-out makes me wonder if there isn’t something between TDD and disciplined unit testing. The term “test-drive” better describes the style I am favoring these days.
Sometimes it is impractical to drive design wholly through testing… likely. Should each unit-of-work (backlog item, user story) have a cooresponding test asset (suite, test) before it can be considered complete? I think so, yes.
