• Test-Driven Development Series Part 1 - Overview by Wellie Chao   - [Clicks: 13]
  This article introduces Test-Driven Development (TDD) and provides references to tools that are useful for TDD. It covers why developers and technology managers should care about TDD and why it is valuable for server-side software within an enterprise. This article is the first in a four part series on Test-Driven Development. Upcoming topics covered in this series will be unit testing of EJB components and POJO classes, black box and in-container testing of servlets and JSPs, and in-container testing of Struts web applications.
