How Effective is Test-Driven Development?

چکیده
Test-Driven Development (TDD) [Beck 2002] is one of the most referenced, yet least used agile practices in industry. Its neglect is due mostly to our lack of understanding of its effects on people, processes, and products. Although most people agree that writing a test case before code promotes more robust implementation and a better design, the unknown costs associated with TDD’s effects and the inversion of the ubiquitous programmer “code-then-test” paradigm has impeded TDD’s adoption.

A Data-driven Method for Crowd Simulation using a Holonification Model
In this paper, we present a data-driven method for crowd simulation with holonification model. With this extra module, the accuracy of simulation will increase and it generates more realistic behaviors of agents. First, we show how to use the concept of holon in crowd simulation and how effective it is. For this reason, we use simple rules for holonification. Using real-world data, we model the...

The approach includes a test automa...
متن کاملOn the Effects of Pair Programming on Thoroughness and Fault-Finding Effectiveness of Unit Tests
Code coverage and mutation score measure how thoroughly tests exercise programs and how effective they are, respectively. The objective is to provide empirical evidence on the impact of pair programming on both, thoroughness and effectiveness of test suites, as pair programming is considered one of the practices that can make testing more rigorous, thorough and effective. A large experiment wit...
