First International Test Driven Development took place on July 10th.
In this series, I will include every talk together with my notes and further reading.
Hopefully, a lot of readers will watch and rewatch the talks, as they are worth several reviews.
Let's continue...
Bio
Meenakshi Dhanani works as a Developer Advocate at Postman where she advocates best practices for Postman, the larger API community, and an API-first approach to software development. She was previously a software consultant at ThoughtWorks, where she trained employees and worked on projects applying XP (extreme programming) practices - TDD, CI/CD, pair programming by the book.
TL;DR: TDD and API-First are complementary techniques. We should embrace contracts.
Talk
My Personal notes
- We make cakes by contracts we agree (the blueprint).
- A contract is an agreement.
- We should always focus on the contract and not the implementation to avoid overengineering.
- Designing by contracts leads to good design from the user perspective.
- With contracts, we have more predictable integration.
- Some Code by contract alternatives are: -- TDD -- API-First development -- BDD -- Design by Contract.
- on TDD writing the tests first, avoids focusing on implementation early.
- TDD is mistakenly focused on the tests instead of how it guides software development.
- We play on the workplace using a mock server.
- The emphasis is on what the API wants to expose
- We quickly compare TDD with API-First. They are complementary. -- We can use them in tandem.
