Test Driving Test Driven Development

We've all been to the sessions about the tools for test driven development (TDD). But TDD is not just about writing tests, it's about driving development through testing. There's a very specific process of TDD with red, green, and blue phases. There's also different patterns, like outside-in or inside-out. In this session we'll focus on these practices by TDDing a common data structure from start to finish. You will gain experience and leave with tips to help them practice TDD in the real world.

Great presentation skills! Loved the interactivity - not everyone can manage a room full of people interactively. Thanks for showing TDD so well and really making it make sense.

Jason is a great speaker. Keeps it interesting by challenging the audience and keeping us involved. He did a really good job on the live coding and explaining the thought process of how to do the simplest thing first. It went a little quick for me. I'm somewhat of a unit testing noob and would have gotten more from a slower pace.

Would definitely attend more of Jason's talks

Very interactive talk

Great presentation, really clear and engaging. However, it should have been marked as "beginner" not "intermediate". It was a very basic introduction to unit testing (and TDD).

Great presentation. Live coding a real example was a great idea. This talk was marked intermediate but was more of a beginner talk.

I honestly can't picture somebody coming up with a better or more participatory, stream-of-consciousness demonstration of test-driven design. This talk really pulled me inside the process. Nice work!
