Teardown

You learned about a few loose-end TDD topics in this chapter. As far as TDD is concerned, that’s it!

No, just kidding, that’s not it. This book provides enough for you to start digging deep into TDD practice, but a wealth of TDD discoveries awaits you. Test-drivers around the world are experimenting with the TPP and seeing how far they can go with it. Behavior-driven developers everywhere (Google BDD) are seeking to further bridge the gap between the business and development teams. Acceptance test-drivers are trying to better understand the boundaries between TDD and ATDD.

The nuts and bolts of TDD are easy in contrast to the real challenge: how do you succeed with TDD in a software development team? Once you’re test-infected, you’ll want other developers to understand your enthusiasm. And you’ll want to improve your practice of the craft. In the next chapter, you’ll learn some strategies and tactics for growing and sustaining TDD.
