In Sunday's email, I said not to estimate separately for testing and implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
But you can't do this anyway if you're doing test-driven development.
|
||||
|
||||
With TDD, you aren't writing all of your tests and all of the implementation code or vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||
You're continuously switching back and forth, starting by writing a failing test and then enough implementation code for it to pass.
|
||||
|
||||
Then you write more test code, whether expanding the same test or writing a new one until you have a new failure.
|
||||
|
||||
You get it to pass, refactor, and repeat the process until the task is complete.
|
||||
|
||||
It's all part of the same task and the same estimate.
