Test Driven Development woes

Read Original

The author reviews Kent Beck's 'Test-Driven Development: By Example,' praising its introductory examples but expressing disappointment in its minimal coverage of applying TDD to legacy code. The article details the struggle of retrofitting tests to existing, coupled code and notes the book's lack of practical solutions for this common challenge. The author plans to seek answers in other literature like 'Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code.'
