Exercise
-‐
1
▪ Open
up
one
LEGO
packet
each
!
▪ Build
a
person
and
a
house
out
of
LEGO

Admire
your
work
▪ Take
a
photo.
Upload
to
Twitter.
Brag
to
your
friends

What
is
the
goal
of
TDD?
▪ It
creates
clean
code
that
works
~
Ron
Jefferies

TDD
▪ It
is
a
predictable
way
to
develop.
You
know
when
you
are
finished,
without
having
to
worry
about
a
long
bug
trail.

TDD
▪ It
gives
you
a
chance
to
learn
all
of
the
lessons
that
the
code
has
to
teach
you.
If
you
only
slap
together
the
first
thing
you
think
of,
then
you
never
have
time
to
think
of
a
second,
better
thing.

TDD
▪ It
improves
the
lives
of
the
users
of
your
software.

TDD
▪ It
lets
your
teammates
count
on
you,
and
you
on
them.

TDD
▪ It
feels
good
to
write
it.

The
Mantra
Red
-‐
Green
-‐
Refactor

doolwind.com

The
Mantra
–
Red
▪Write
a
small
test
that
shows
the
code
doesn’t
work

The
Mantra
–
Green
▪ Do
the
minimum
to
make
the
code
work

The
Mantra
-‐
Refactor
▪ Eliminate
duplication
!
▪ Ensure
code
clarity
!
▪ Is
it
the
simplest
it
could
be?

You
won’t
stay
agile
without
clean
code
!
You
can’t
have
clean
code
without
refactoring
!
You
can’t
refactor
without
good
automated
tests

Exercise
-‐
2
▪ Build
a
person
and
a
house
with
TDD

Prepare
your
environment
▪ Clear
the
area
in
front
of
you.
!
▪ This
is
your
program.
!
▪ The
perfect
program!

First
Test
▪ Does
the
person
exist?
!
▪ No?

Hurray!!!
We
failed
the
test!
Celebrate!
High
5s!

Minimum
to
pass
the
test
▪ Add
a
block.
Can
that
be
a
person?

Hurray!!!
▪ The
person
now
exists!
!
▪ Not
very
impressive
but
it
could
represent
a
person.
!
▪ We
passed
the
test!
We
are
rocking
now!

Refactor
▪ Remove
any
duplication.
In
this
case
we’re
good.

Same
thing
for
house
▪ Is
there
a
house?

Same
thing
for
house
▪ You
know
what
to
do
now
right?

We
need
a
new
test
▪ The
house
is
taller
then
the
person.
!
▪ Assert.IsTrue(house.height
>
person.height);

Hurray!!!
-‐
More
Failure
The
person
is
the
same
size
so
we
fail
this
test.
Well
done!

Failure
=
Learning
Opportunity
▪ If
you’re
not
failing,
you’re
not
learning.
!
▪ If
you’re
not
learning...

Minimum
to
pass
the
test
▪ From
the
audience
this
time.
!
▪ Anyone?

Hurray!!!
-‐
Success
▪ Alright,
we
passed
the
test.

Refactor
▪ Still
very
simple.
Still
nice
and
clean.

Software
Requirements
▪ Software
must
do
three
things:
▪ It
must
work
▪ It
must
be
understandable
▪ It
must
be
updatable

We
need
a
new
test
▪ Is
the
house
wider
then
the
person?
No?
!
▪ We
failed
another
test!
Awesome!
We
are
learning
a
lot
about
improvements
that
are
needed
to
our
code.
!
▪ Let’s
do
the
minimum
to
pass
the
test.
!
▪ Any
duplication
to
remove?

Lego
Sim
Town
In
order
to
have
a
town
to
run
The
Mayor
requires
A
small
town
comprised
of:
!
A
family
A
house
A
tree
An
animal
A
vehicle

We
need
a
new
test
▪ Work
together
and
write
down
a
new
test
▪ Build
minimally
pass
the
test
▪ Repeat
(Don’t
worry
about
Refactoring
for
now)
▪ Here’s
a
few
if
you
get
stuck:
▪ Is
the
house
at
least
x
bricks
tall?
▪ Is
the
tree
the
same
size
as
the
house?
▪ Is
the
animal
smaller
than
the
person?
