Kent Beck Talk

I've just stumbled over an excellent talk by Kent Beck on Developer Testing. Kent says some pretty interesting things.

• He talks about Software Health and introducing good practises.
  
• Developer Testing only affects you doesn't rely on anybody else.
• Accountabilty and promtes good design. I.e you think about the tests - if you've not thought of all scenarios they will be missing with in the tests.
  
• Documentation :test can provide an element of documentation to code.
  
• Adding tests can be easy and provide immediate feedback.
• Responsibilty of dev testing is on you...
• Constancy of purpose to 'stick with it'
• as bug fixing legacy code perhaps write some tests.

Basically check it out. Its made me regret not Sitcking with TDD for my current project.
