One of the internal Microsoft discussion lists on unit testing and EDD (TDD) had a thread where a person new to unit testing asked a couple of really good questions. In response, someone posted a link to an intersting post by Michael Feathers on A Set...

It was publically announced today on Naysawn Naderi's blog that Unit Testing will be in the Pro SKU of the next version of Visual Studio . This is fantastic news that I am very excited to share.

Brian has a great post on how to get an EDD (Example Driven Design) coding session started with a list of examples . Of course, Brian uses the terms "TDD" and "Creating a Test List", but the idea is the same. [Author's Note: Because TDD (Test Driven...
