MSDN Webcast: Testing for Better Design (Level 200)

Overview Over the last decade, software architects have promoted a set of patterns, practices and ideas for designing and building proper "Business objects". Unfortunately, the "Business" aspect often gets lost in the sheer volume of implementation detail that is typically produced. Test-Driven Development (TDD) is more than another method of writing code. It is a philosophy for thinking about software. This unique approach means that the benefits of TDD go beyond quality and extend to the very "Goodness" of the design. This webcast will explore how TDD lends itself to producing highly flexible object oriented designs while keeping the business domain in focus throughout the development effort.
