• Microsoft's Updated "Guidelines for Test-Driven Development"

  The previous incarnation of that Microsoft article was heavily panned by critics and in a rare move, Microsoft actually pulled it out of its developer web site. I didn't realise it but Microsoft actually replaced it with one written by Jeffrey Palermo...

  OK, so now it's time to "walk the talk." I'll be demo-ing here how to develop a user login facility test first -- how you can begin a test, then code your class to pass that test.

• Testing against the database

  In our company we're currently porting a site from old ASP Classic to ASP.NET 2.0. It's virtually a total overhaul, as we're embracing an object-oriented design that we believe will enable us to scale and maintain the application better. I just noticed...

• Updated slides and code for TDD

  Yesterday's MSDN event was tiring but I guess it was worth it. Hopefully these slides and demo code help convince you to adopt the test-driven approach to coding. Too bad there were not enough shirts/jackets for everyone. Hmm, I feel envious that the...
