Articles
Title | Author(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Carving differential unit test cases from system test cases | Sebastian Elbaum, Hui Nee Chin, Matthew B. Dwyer, Jonathan Dokulil | |
| Endo-Testing: Unit Testing with Mock Objects | Tim Mackinnon, Steve Freeman, Philip Craig | |
| Mock Roles, Not Objects | Steve Freeman, Tim Mackinnon, Nat Pryce, Joe Walnes | This article discusses the use of Mock objects to discover system behaviour as part of the development and testing process. It is a followup to the author's previous article Endo-Testing: Unit Testing with Mock Objects. |
| Realizing quality improvement through test driven development: results and experiences of four industrial teams | Nachiappan Nagappan, E. Michael Maximilien, Thirumalesh Bhat, Laurie Williams | This report documents the results of a case study into four projects that used TDD during development. Three projects at Microsoft and one at IBM were included in the case study. The report concludes that TDD does improve the quality of the delivered software and a reduction in the defect density when the software is released. It also showed that the development time increased; however this was offset by reduced integration testing. |
