TDD and The Terminator — An Introduction to Test Driven Development
summary
A practical demo shows Test-Driven Development applied to a .NET Core “Terminator” app: write failing red-green-refactor tests with NUnit and FluentAssertions, implement a minimal SubjectAnalyzer that initially returns true to make tests green, then refactor to an ISubjectRule list so adding new rules extends behavior without modifying logic. Real-world context: an eight-person team, six testers, nine weeks of regressions, an 800-line controller; the approach eliminates regressions and the “aha” is that the smallest code to pass a test can simply return true.
