Development-Driven Testing
The testing cycle goes from red to green to red to green
One of Kent Beck’s first articles about unit testing is called Test Infected: Programmers Love Writing Tests. It was written, I think, in 1998. What’s interesting about the Test Infected article is how Kent describes the process: “code a little, test a little, code a little, test a little”.
Which is backwards. Or not-backwards, depending on your perspective, but in any case, it’s not the TDD process that Kent would eventually describe in the XP book, among other places.
