Overview of this book

Modern, standard C++ is all that is needed to create a small and practical testing framework that will improve the design of any project. This allows you to think about how the code will be used, which is the first step in designing intuitive interfaces. TDD is a modern balanced software development approach that helps to create maintainable applications, provide modularity in design, and write minimal code that drastically reduces defects. With the help of this book, you'll be able to continue adding value when designs need to change by ensuring that the changes don't break existing tests. In this book, you will use test-driven development (TDD) to gain practical skills by writing a simple testing framework and then using it to drive the design of a logging library. The book will help you enhance your software development skills with test cases. You'll understand how to design and implement test cases. The chapters will also show you how to utilize the TDD approach to be more productive in software development than attempting to code in large unstructured steps. By the end of this book, you'll have gained knowledge of TDD and testing and also built a working logging library with unique features not found in other libraries.

Explore Improvements Early

We’ve come a long way with the testing library and have been using TDD the entire time to get us here. Sometimes, it’s important to explore new ideas before a project gets too far. After creating anything, we’ll have insights that we didn’t have at the beginning. And after working with a design for a while, we’ll develop a feel for what we like and what we might want to change. I encourage you to take this time to reflect on a design before proceeding.

We have something that is working and a bit of experience using it, so is there anything that we can improve?

This approach is like a higher-level process of TDD, as explained in Chapter 3, The TDD Process. First, we work out how we’d like to use something, then get it built, then do the minimal amount of work to get it working and the tests passing, and then enhance the design. We’ve got many things working now, but we haven’t gone so far yet where...
