Kent Beck
WHO IS KENT BECK? 2 +Agile Manifesto +JUnit

THE PURSUIT OF SIMPLICITY 4 Do the simplest thing that
could possibly work
5 RULE 1 - ALL TESTS MUST PASS ! Program
correctness Feedback loops Confidence levels Ease of evolution Working specification ! !
THE PYRAMID OF TESTING 6 Unit tests Integration tests Functional
tests The higher we go ! ▫︎fewer numbers ▫︎slower feedback ▫︎higher cost
7 ! ! Duplication is waste Eliminate waste Say it
once, Say it well Less code means fewer bugs ! ! RULE 2 - ONCE AND ONLY ONCE (OOO)
RULE 3 - EXPRESS YOUR INTENT 8 ! All in
the name Staying small Role playing Tell, don’t ask The world as we see it
9 ! ! ! Would you really need this? (minimal
methods, classes, & modules) RULE 4 - NO SUPERFLUOUS PARTS
FORM VS. FUNCTION 10
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES 11
12 YOU AIN’T GONNA NEED IT! ! ! The world
is changing. fast. Build for what you know. Over time, you’ll know more. What if I could look ahead?
LISTEN TO THE CODE 13 ! ! 1. Write a
test, make it pass, refactor 2. Refactor to the point of simplicity 3. Listen to the code
THE SIMPLE DESIGN DYNAMO TM 14
SUMMARY 15 ! ! 1. All tests must pass 2.
Don’t repeat yourself 3. Express your intent 4. Stay lean
