A family of experiments on test-driven development

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

1 Contract Driven Development = Test Driven Development - Writing Test - Cases

Although unit tests are recognized as an important tool in software development, programmers prefer to write code, rather than unit tests. Despite the emergence of tools like JUnit which automate part of the process, unit testing remains a time-consuming, resource-intensive, and not particularly appealing activity. This paper introduces a new method, called ContractDriven Development, that take...

Test Driven Development

A structured experiment of test-driven development

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a software development practice in which unit test cases are incrementally written prior to code implementation. We ran a set of structured experiments with 24 professional pair programmers. One group developed a small Java program using TDD while the other (control group), used a waterfall-like approach. Experimental results, subject to external validity concer...

A Test Driven Development of MAS

Testing is a key software lifecycle activity to assure software quality. Although it is of recognized importance, the work on agent testing has been scarce and has been usually tied to a MAS design methodology. This article presents a methodology agnostic testing procedure along with the description of a testing toolkit for MAS, with a practical application to a real, in production MAS. We also...
