]]> Comment on TTDD – Tautological Test Driven Development (Anti Pattern) by Paul Nelson http://fabiopereira.me/blog/2010/05/27/ttdd-tautological-test-driven-development-anti-pattern/#comment-18703 Paul Nelson Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:24:01 +0000 http://fabiopereira.me/blog/2010/05/25/ttdd-tautological-test-driven-development-anti-pattern/#comment-18703 Nice post! I find that focusing on behavior (as you mention), while not a guarantee, is an excellent way to avoid tautological tests. One technique I've used when getting tests around legacy code is to build the test line by line without the help of any mocking framework or test framework code. It helps me discover how the code is behaving. Simply starting a test by instantiating an object with all null parameters can lead to some interesting discoveries. When I work with teams on the above approach, they often find they don't really need the mocking framework while gaining a deeper understanding of behavior. Nice post!

Do you have any idea to apply this rule for general actions and decisions in our life?
