Are You Chicago Or London When It Comes To TDD?
1,042There are two schools of thought in TDD, the classical school of TDD, also known as the Chicago School of TDD, and the London School of TDD. The classical form of TDD was what Kent Beck described in his books "Extreme Programming" and “Test Driven Development”. The London school was captured by Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce in “Growing OO Software Guided by Tests”. So do these two approaches compete? Is this another software culture war? Which one should you pick?
TDD is one of the most effective practices in software engineering to amplify your chances of success and improve the quality of your software design. In this episode, Dave Farley, author of "Continuous Delivery" and "Modern Software Engineering” explores the two schools of TDD in a kind of TDD tutorial, and describes how each of them works, and how they can work together.
