InfoQ : Coplien and Martin Debate TDD, CDD and Professionalism

Coplien and Martin Debate TDD, CDD and Professionalism

Summary

Debate sprang up at JAOO ’07 around Bob Martin’s assertion that “nowadays it is irresponsible for a developer to ship a line of code he has not executed in a unit test.” In this InfoQ video, he debated with Jim Coplien on this and other topics, including Design by Contract vs. TDD and how much up-front architecture is needed to keep a system consistent with the business domain model.
