An Early TDD Experience | #110

PawCast with GeePaw Hill

When we talk about transitioning to microtest TDD, we have to figure out how to provide the right experiences in the right order. That's why I propose we start by getting the experience of changing a well-microtested graceful class. "Create Experiences, Not Arguments" is one of the core habits of change-harvesters. We want to take that slogan very seriously when we approach any significant change to our practice. And microtest TDD, believe me, is a significant change. A would-be TDD coach or instructor nearly always carries an implicit belief that her victims do not have, drawn from lived experience that they don't have. It is this: "What we are doing now is much more unpleasant and unproductive than what we'll be doing when we TDD."
