“test && commit || revert. If the tests fail, then the code goes back to the state where the tests last passed” - Kent Beck
For our March event, we have a workshop using an entirely new form of Test Driven Development (TDD). In this version of TDD, every time you save a file, the tests run and if they fail the code gets instantly reverted.
Poof! it’s gone.
If the tests pass, however, the change gets committed.
We will be discovering what this constraint means for our coding styles. Can we possibly work if we throw away all our mistakes seconds after making them? How do we become productive while under this design pressure? Come along and we’ll find out together.
Doors open at 6 pm, then we’ll kick off at 6:30 pm.
Since we’ll be working in pairs, you will need to bring your laptop for this session.

About CodeCraft
We are a software crafters meetup. We discuss, demonstrate and debate how to write well-structured, malleable software.
While we respect and encourage lean agile methodolgies, we are here to discuss the craft of developing software, not managing the process around development.
Our events are on the 3rd Thursday of every month, but we encourage you to follow us on Twitter to find out about changes to dates, venues, or additional events.
