Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll explore the difference between mock-based and traditional Test-Driven Development. You’ll write tests using mock objects for an e-commerce store, then overcome common mocks anti-patterns—including the dreaded mocks returning mocks issue. You’ll tinker with a realistic codebase which contains missing test coverage, design shortcomings, and third-party integrations, then practice evolutionary architectural design and the mockist style of TDD.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
