Hi All,

This week Fred will tell us about live better through test-driven
development. Hope to see you there.

Time/Date: 14h30 Thursday March 31st
Location: LISA Lab (AA3256)

Abstract:

I will explain why doing test before or at the same time as coding is
something very usefull. In some case, it can save time globally. Very
often, you catch bug earlier and this make there fixing easier(bug
found in test, not in model). The TDD definition on Wikipedia:

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that
relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the
developer writes a failing automated test case that defines a desired
improvement or new function, then produces code to pass that test and
finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards. Kent Beck, who
is credited with having developed or 'rediscovered' the technique,
stated in 2003 that TDD encourages simple designs and inspires
confidence.[1]


Cheers,
Aaron
