Software testing is one of the key activities to achieve software quality in practice. Despite its
importance, however, we have a remarkable lack of knowledge on how developers test in …

Background: Test-driven development (TDD) is a technique that repeats short coding cycles
interleaved with testing. The developer first writes a unit test for the desired functionality …

The Art and Science of Analyzing Software Data provides valuable information on analysis
techniques often used to derive insight from software data. This book shares best practices …

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is an agile software development approach. It promotes
short cycles, composed of three phases each, to incrementally implement software …

As software development practices evolve, toolsmiths face the continuous challenge of
getting developers to adopt new practices and tools. We tested an idea with industrial …

CONTEXT: Test-driven development is an approach to software development, where
automated tests are written before production code in highly iterative cycles. Test-driven …

We present a quasi-experiment to investigate whether, and to what extent, sleep deprivation
impacts the performance of novice software developers using the agile practice of test-first …

For more than 15 years, researchers at the Collaborative Software Development Laboratory
at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have looked for analytics that help developers …

Test-Driven Development has been a practice used primarily in agile software development
circles for a little more than a decade now. In software development circles, this is a …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of TDD, as compared to a non-TDD approach, as well
as its retainment (or retention) over a time span of (about) six months. To pursue these …
