* The name of the test should describe the requirement of the code
* There should be at least one test for each requirement of the code. Each possible path through of the code is a different requirement#
* Test the goal of the code, not the implementation

TDD


If you write the test after you've written the code, it's much more likely that you'll write the tests that will pass what you've written.

That's just how our brains work.

If you determine the criteria for whether a decision is good after you've already made the decision, it's much more likely that you'll create criteria that justifies the decision that was just made.

That's just how our brains work.

Determine how to assess whether something is good before you implement it and/or before you make a decision. Otherwise, you will tend to be emotionally attached to what you just did, what you just decided.

Does this mean I think you should skip TDD for programs you’re going to run once and then throw them away?

Well, I’m closer to OK with that than I am to the other cases here, but I often spend enough time editing and rerunning to make me think there was probably a central bit of the program that would have benefited from some TDD.

antipattern


The evil test:

1. Evil tests create a lock on how the code is implemented.
2. Cause duplication.
3. Builds uncertainty on the tests (red is meaningless).
4. Decrease productivity.
5. Discourage change.

CI for eclipse RCP - http://www.pluginbuilder.org/

Don’t write E2E tests instead of UI tests. Instead write unit tests and integration tests beside the UI tests.
Hermetic tests are the way to go.
Use dependency injection while designing your app.
Build your application into small libraries/modules, and test each one in isolation. You can then have a few integration tests to verify integration between components is correct .
Componentized UI tests have proven to be much faster than E2E and 99%+ stable. Fast and stable tests have proven to drastically improve developer productivity.

performance


By far the biggest reason I have seen for the performance discrepancy above is not due to a faulty test but due to the stress test being executed on wildly different data sets than what is in production. - http://saasinterrupted.com[..]on-flaw-in-software-performance-testing/

refactoring unit test


Idea of how to refactoring test cases, summary :

Refactor production code with the tests passing. This helps you determine that the production code still does what it is meant to.
Refactor test code with the tests failing. This helps you determine that the test code still does what it is meant to.

Collections of idea of testing private methods - http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/01/private-methods-tdd-design , may be it is a signal of refactoring?

The other way of testing private , via compare with difference implementation - http://manversusvirtualmachine.blogspot.com[..]1/unit-testing-private-methods-like.html
