30 Days of TDD – Day 28 – Reader Question #4
Robert Pack asks I noticed from the first installment of the series that you say you write classes and methods so that they only just pass tests and no more, cutting down on dead code and zombie bugs.

30 Days of TDD – Day 27 – Reader Question #3

Controlling DateTime is a solution, but it smells of violating encapsulation, you are affecting objects from outside of their boundaries (and indeed system wide) In your experience what is the best way to deal with Dates in TDD?December 06, 2013

Using QUnit To Unit Test PhoneGap/Cordova Applications
