A Tactical TDD Introduction (Garrick West)

Looking back on my experiences, this presentation describes my recommendation as to how I would go about learning TDD from the “ground up”, as well as getting it successfully introduced to co-workers and my development organization.

ABOUT GARRICK

Garrick is a longtime proponent of software crafting practices and has spent most of his full-time development work doing pair-programming, mob/Ensemble programming, test-driven development (TDD), refactoring, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) across numerous programming languages & application stacks.

Most formatively, he started with these practices full time in 2004 as part of an internationally distributed XP team with members in the UK, US, and Singapore and continued applying and learning for eight years. When the company direction changed and the US team shut down, he seized the opportunity to work in technical coaching, building on his training and mentoring skills that had formed organically over the years in XP teams.
