Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests - Steve Freeman, Nat Pryce

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is now an established technique for delivering better software faster. TDD is based on a simple idea: write tests for your code before you write the code itself. However, this "simple" idea takes skill and judgment to do well. Now there's a practical guide to TDD that takes you beyond the basic concepts. Drawing on a decade of experience building real-world systems, two TDD pioneers show how to let tests guide your development and “grow” software that is coherent, reliable, and maintainable.
