About Jon

Jon has been practicing test-driven development for nearly two decades. Most of this experience has been in Apple environments. So when he started iOS coding ten years ago, it was only natural for him to use TDD. Jon is the author of iOS Unit Testing by Example and is a technical agile coach focusing on iOS teams.

Intro to TDD — From Zero to FizzBuzz

Red-Green-Refactor and the Three Laws of TDD

Let’s use the simplest programming puzzle, FizzBuzz, to learn the fundamentals of test-driven development. By simplifying the problem, we can concentrate on the nuances of what goes into TDD. You’ll experience the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, and the Three Laws of TDD.

TDD Paint by Numbers in Xcode

Learn the Red-Green-Refactor cycle of TDD, without writing the tests.

Learn TDD the easy way with a TDD Paint by Numbers session. The tests are already written for you! You'll work in the production code. Since the tests are written, you’ll experience the meaty payoff of TDD. Namely, adding new behavior incrementally, and refactoring to keep the code clean.
