## Description

Quite simply, test-driven development is meant to eliminate fear in application development. While some fear is healthy (often viewed as a conscience that tells programmers to "be careful!"), the author believes that byproducts of fear include tentative, grumpy, and uncommunicative programmers who are unable to absorb constructive criticism. When programming teams buy into TDD, they immediately see positive results. They eliminate the fear involved in their jobs, and are better equipped to tackle the difficult challenges that face them. TDD eliminates tentative traits, it teaches programmers to communicate, and it encourages team members to seek out criticism However, even the author admits that grumpiness must be worked out individually! In short, the premise behind TDD is that code should be continually tested and refactored. Kent Beck teaches programmers by example, so they can painlessly and dramatically increase the quality of their work.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Introduction
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 June 2019*

I think this is a great book for those new to TDD, it's no that long so you can get through it pretty quickly and I think it does a good job of summarising the most important points.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book on TDD
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 December 2015*

As a practitioner of TDD already, I found this book to be a good refresher. I can see it working as a good introduction for TDD beginners. The book also contains some pearls of wisdom for programming in general and which add context to the teachings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book for staring
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 May 2015*

Good book for staring. I missed more examples, complex ones. And also the second chapter was a bit off-topic or it seemed to me.
