On June 18, Duchess organized her first coding dojo with assistance from Marc Evers from AgileHolland. The subject was Test-Driven Development with FitNesse, which we applied to the Roman Number Kata.
It was a truly interactive session where everyone had a chance to get in the driver and co-pilot seats.
We got a good start with FitNesse with cheat sheet from Erik Pragt, where we learned the default table fixture. Then, took too big a step and had trouble getting the next test to pass. We learned from Marc that this is part of the normal process of learning TDD. Baby Steps are not as easy as it sounds and we learned that we need to choose our tests carefully so as not to take too big of a step.
We intend to get good at TDD with lots of Deliberate Practice. Please join us on our next Coding Dojo to be hosted by JTeam. Announcement coming soon!
