Great webinar about TDD in Eclipse

May 28th, 2009

Just finished watching the webinar about TDD (Test Driven Development) in Eclipse by Kevin Taylor and I really liked it. Testing in eclipse is sometimes really challenging so anyone giving hints on how to do it better is helping the community a lot.

Presentation itself gave me some new ideas I’m going to try out and pointed me to SWTBot that I’ll definitely check out. Also I liked the idea about usingĀ  MVP (Model View Presenter) as it makes testing muchmuch simpler. Kevin also gives a small sample where he adds a button to a simple Twitter client. I really recommend that part, as it gives a good example how to access the UI parts in Eclipse. What I would have liked is a small demo on how he tests the presentation layer, but this was out of scope due to unfortunate 1 hour timelimit. The webinar itself can be found in Eclipse Live under the name Test Driven Development Best Practices for Eclipse RCP.
