Erik Dernburg, TDD Expert, ThoughtWorks Inc.
Taking TDD to the Next LevelMore and more developers are being drawn to Test Driven Development (TDD). It doesnt take much time or effort to get going, especially after you have passed that first hurdle of approaching development using the mantra of red-green-refactor instead of code for days and then debug and test. But after a while you discover that TDD has more to it than just basic state-based testing. In this session Erik will present in-depth discussions of topics such as interaction-based testing, dependency injection, classical vs mockist testing, test doubles, builders, and Hamcrest matchers.(Erik Doernenburg is a Principal Consultant at ThoughtWorks Inc. where he is helping clients with the design and implementation of large-scale enterprise solutions. Building on his experience with J2EE, Microsoft .NET and other environments, Erik is continually exploring patterns of enterprise software. He is an advocate of agile development and Open Source software, holds a degree in Informatics from the University of Dortmund and has studied Computer Science and Linguistics at the University College Dublin)
