In this post, I demonstrate a solution to the popular FizzBuzz problem using TDD. Given the relative straightforward nature of the problem and corresponding solution, there is no narration. Instead, there’s a cool techno track. Enjoy, and as always, comments are welcome!

Continuing in the series, we build upon our prior work on the OCR kata and proceed to actually compute the checksum of an account number. In order to keep this under fifteen minutes, we only get so far as computing the checksums of empty and invalid account numbers. Enjoy!

Pairing has been of worth, but I wanted something more “on the record.” To wit, a video series where I lay down my take on [...]
About nine months ago, I compared MSTest and NUnit in Visual Studio 2010 and decided that NUnit was the winner when it came to unit testing. My comparisons were based on ease of setup and test code clarity. Back then, where NUnit pulled ahead was in its fluent assertions. These read more like English, and [...]
