Professional Test Driven Development with C#: Developing Real World Applications with TDD

Start working with test driven development processes to build better applications
If you want to write robust software that is simple to implement and maintain, you need to use Test Driven Development (TDD). This hands–on guide shows you how, providing invaluable insight for creating effective TDD processes. With the help of source code and examples featured in C#, the authors walk you through the TDD methodology and show you how to apply it to a real–world application. You′ll explore the application as it′s built from scratch and follow each step involved in development, including problems that arise and the solutions to apply. Within no time, you′ll be designing your own successful TDD processes.
