摘要：In industry experiments using test-driven development (TDD), some researchers report significantly increased code quality over traditional test-last approaches. Not surprisingly, information technology educators have begun to call for the introduction of TDD into the curriculum. Some early adopters have pioneered the use of TDD in advanced programming or software engineering courses. A few educators have experimented with the introduction of TDD as early as the beginning programming course. This paper examines various strategies for presenting test-driven concepts in an introductory software development course. Classroom experience with a simplified approach to TDD that doesn’t require the use of an automated test framework is explored. Based on an end-of-course student survey, recommendations are made for integrating TDD into the first programming course.
