Abstract

This workshop focusses on Programmer Tests as defined in Test-Driven Development and the XP literature. Such tests are written by programmers to drive the development of software, demonstrate step-by-step progress towards the completion of a task and provide a safety net for refactoring. We explore specific strategies and techniques that participants can apply in their work in addition to considering the “big picture” of testing.
