Welcome to part two of our series on building a Windows application using test-driven development (TDD). In the previous article we drove the design of our entity classes and data access layer by means of unit tests. The unit tests acted more as specifications for the system rather than tests, since...

In a hot discussion thread in msforums.ph about the value of unit testing and adopting test-driven development (TDD), a suggestion was made to illustrate how TDD is used in creating a simple application, specifically Keith's October code challenge . In response to that, I've decided to write...

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. Then we'll add one feature or behavior at a time until we completely fulfill the specifications or requirements. Hopefully...
