More than XP. More than one day.

It isn’t hard to find information about TDD these days. There are several books on the subject, and plenty of web resources; however, almost all of them are written with the assumption that you’ll be using Java, C#, or a dynamically typed language in your work. Hardly any of them are written with C++ in mind.

TDD in C++ presents special challenges. The language is large and it presents many options. Developers must select among a variety of language constructs, all of which have different trade offs with respect to testability, design evolution, and dependency management. C++ also has failure modes that are significantly different than other languages.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to do TDD in C++. You’ll learn how to drive the creation of templates, interfaces, and plain old C++ objects (POCOs). You’ll also learn how to establish a TDD compatible C++ style appropriate for your team.
