Practical Test-Driven Development using C# 7

This book demystifies the principles and practices of Test-Driven Development specifically for C, one of the most enduring and widely-used programming languages. It starts by introducing the fundamentals of TDD — the cycle of writing tests first, coding to pass the tests, and then refactoring. You'll explore practical scenarios and real-world examples that make the abstract concepts concrete and applicable. The book delves into setting up your development environment, writing your first set of tests, and documenting how code changes over time to meet different requirements. Through illustrative examples and step-by-step exercises, you will see how TDD can lead not only to code that works today but also to software that's easier to maintain and expand tomorrow. By the end of the book, you'll have developed an intuitive understanding of how TDD enhances collaboration, fosters clean code, and encourages a disciplined approach to programming in C. From handling dependencies and mocking in C to testing complex data structures and algorithms, this guide systematically prepares you for tackling a wide range of programming challenges.

• Master the TDD cycle: Red-Green-Refactor.
• Learn to efficiently use C testing frameworks and tools.
• Understand how to write expressive and maintainable tests.
• Gain insights into refactoring code with confidence.
• Explore advanced topics such as dependency injection and test doubles in C.

"Test-driven development isn’t just a methodology; it’s a state of mind that instills rigor and confidence."

"With TDD, tests cease to be a mere afterthought; they become an integral part of robust software design."

"Practical Test-Driven Development using C" is for programmers and developers who wish to transcend traditional coding approaches, ensuring their development processes are not only efficient but also produce high-quality outcomes. This book fills a pivotal gap in the available resources on TDD for C, offering a structured pathway from understanding the basics to mastering advanced techniques. In an industry where software quality can't be compromised, TDD equips developers with the tools to meet rigorous quality standards while maintaining flexibility for changes and growth. This book provides both novice and experienced C programmers with the structured knowledge needed to integrate TDD into daily practice, fundamentally changing how they approach programming challenges. In a world increasingly reliant on technology, the significance of delivering reliable, bug-free, and maintainable code cannot be overstated. This book arms you with the necessary skills to make a tangible difference in the quality of your software projects, ensuring they stand the test of time and achieve their intended impact.
