DESCRIPTION:
You get valuable feedback every few minutes. James leads you through the thought process and decisions made each step of the way. You get to spend more time adding valuable features to your product.James is one of the few experts in applying TDD to embedded C. This is the first book to teach the hows and whys of TDD for C programmers.TDD is a modern programming practice C developers need to know. It's a different way to program---unit tests are written in a tight feedback loop with the production code, assuring your code does what you think. TDD helps you prevent defects and build software with a long useful life. With his 1.5 decades of training,coaching, and practicing TDD in C, C++, Java, and C# he will lead you from being a novice in TDD to using the techniques that few have mastered.This book is full of code written for embedded C programmers. You don't just see the end product, you see code and tests evolve. You thought TDD was for someone else, but it's not! It's for you, the embedded C programmer. You'll learn techniques for test-driving code right nextto the hardware, and you'll learn design principles and how to apply them to C to keep your code clean and flexible.To run the examples in this book, you will need a C/C++ development environment on your machin
Any C programmer can benefit from working through this book.". In clear and simple prose, James shows working geeks each of the TDD concepts and their C implementations. "This book is targeting the embedded-programmer-on-the-street and hits its target. It is neither spoon-fed baby talk nor useless theory-spin
Acceptable, but needs a lot of work to be great. Jeffrey Rizzo Contrary to some of the other reviews, I do think this book gives some valuable insight into techniques for unit-testing embedded code. However, I found the coding style used within the book to be confusing at best, and I'm also not thrilled by CppUTest, the testing framework the author chose (and is one of the authors of).The best feature of the book is the discussions of TDD with examples in . Very readable and helpful! Scott Willis I am currently working on bringing modern development practices to an ARM embedded software project with legacy code. I have quite a bit of unit testing experience, and found myself still interested in reading the whole text and not just skimming. This book has been a huge help! It shows for example ways to intercept and test hardware I/O. Unfortunately some source code editing is required, but. Pedro V. Torres said Best part, test driven development for legacy code.
