Question

With thanks to Lanette Cream, (AKA @lanettecream on Twitter and found on the internetz blogging away at http://blog.testyredhead.com), I came across this very good article today by J.B. Rainsberger: "How test-driven development works (and more!)" Rainsberger's well-laid-out article talks about T-D-D as well as B-D-D (Behavior-Driven-Development).

What other good sources are out there?

Answer 1

The "classic" - if you can call 2002 classic - is Test Driven Development: By Example by Kent Beck.

However, if you someone is just beginning, they may want to look at the many books and articles that deal with the technology / tools they are looking to use. Although I am not a .NET developer, I have heard good things about The Art of Unit Testing: With Examples in .Net by Roy Osherove.

I don't have a particular recommendation for Java.

Answer 2

The Wikipedia article is ok as a very brief overview. After that, you will likely want to seek out a language-specific introduction. What language?
