Test Driven Development: Performing Art
The art of Test Driven Development (TDD) is a skill that needs to be learnt, and takes practice to master. In this workshop, a select number of conference participants, with considerable skill and experience, will perform code katas. The aim is for them to demonstrate excellence. The code Kata problems are not supposed to be hard in themselves, the challenge is to solve them in a pair using TDD, and end up with great code. This session is for the benefit of agile developers, who can come along and witness TDD and pairing, get a chance to ask questions, and provide feedback.
The performances:
Danilo Sato & Hugo Corbucci (Thoughtworks & Agilbits)
Kata: Sudoku Verifier in Smalltalk
Johannes Brodwall & Ivar Nilsen (Steria)
Kata: the Java EE spike Kata
Marcus Ahnve & Jimmy Larsson (Valtech)
