I read about TDD and it’s associated red-green-refactor cycle while learning Ruby on Rails and I was quite intrigued by the concept. It seemed like a novel way to approach programming. From what I read on the Internet about it, it also seemed to reduce bugs in the code and generally leads to better, more human understandable code.

So, when we were given our first programming assignment in CS 241, I decided to approach it with the TDD mantra. Programming this way was a great expirience, once I had come up with enough test cases for my assignment, programming it up wasn’t too hard because I had already captured all the edge/unusual cases. 

All in all, I was satisfied with this approach, and I will most definately be using it again for future assignments when possible.
