Continuous Test-Driven Development - A Novel Agile Software Development Practice and Supporting Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Continuous testing is a technique in modern software development in which the source code is constantly unit tested in the background and there is no need for the developer to perform the tests manually. We propose an extension to this technique that combines it with well-established software engineering practice called TestDriven Development (TDD). In our practice, that we called Continuous Test-Driven Development (CTDD), software developer writes the tests first and is not forced to perform them manually. We hope to reduce the time waste resulting from manual test execution in highly test driven development scenario. In this article we describe the CTDD practice and the tool that we intend to use to support and evaluate the CTDD practice in a real world software development project.

Experiences Assessing Agile Practices
Agile practices are increasingly being added to software engineering curricula, notably pair programming and test-driven development. Continuous integration is less commonly included, although the procedure of short-cycle rebuilds and test of applications is common practice in industry. This paper describes a study in which computing undergraduates were given experience of a set of agile practi...

This paper deals with the Featured Driven Development (FDD), an agile software development method. According to the requirement analysis for the FDD method application, an information system has been created providing all team members with instruments to follow the method. This tool has been implemented as a multi-user web-based application enabling creation of feature lists, planning a project...
متن کاملThe TDD-Guide Training and Guidance Tool for Test-Driven Development
A tool is presented for guiding Test-Driven Development (TDD), called TDD-Guide. The tool is integrated into an existing development environment and guides the developer during the development by providing notifications that encourage use of TDD. The TDD practice is defined through rules that can easily be changed and are used to generate code incorporated to a development environment using an ...

Agile practices are receiving considerable attention from industry as an alternative to traditional software development approaches. However, there are a number of challenges in combining Agile [2] with Test-driven development (TDD) [10] practices, cloud deployments, continuous integration (CI), non-stop performance, load, security and accessibly testing. From these challenges; Continuous Integ...
متن کاملSupporting Test-Driven Development of Web Service Choreographies
Choreographies have been proposed as decentralized and scalable solutions for composing web services. Nevertheless, inherent characteristics of SOA such as dynamicity, scale, and governance issues make the automated testing of choreographies difficult. The goal of our research is to adapt the automated testing techniques used by the Agile Software Development community to the SOA context. To ac...
