Test driven development in .NET
Several months after discovering TDD in Python thanks to Eric Jones, I don’t think I could develop anymore without it. Currently working on a different project in .NET, the first thing I did was re-installing NUnit (I already gave it a try several years ago, but without understanding how to use it, it was soon […]
