TDD is not just a form of testing, it is a software design method as well. It’s a development technique based on pre-written test cases. The cases define feature enhancements that are added in short iterations.
During the iterations, developers write the code necessary to pass that iteration’s tests and refactors the code to accommodate changes. Preparing tests before coding facilitates quick feedback from all stakeholders.
Test-driven Development has generated much interest among software teams since it’s introduction as a part of Extreme Programming. It has been very successful for web applications.
LoadStorm got its name from its specialty of performing load tests with massive scalability. That said, it is a good tool for TDD because it is a simple way to create and run many quick iterations of testing.
With LoadStorm, you get a web application that enables you to easily and quickly build test plans. It is testing automation at its simplest. If you want a complex tool with the richest feature set and a big price tag, we are sure HP can help you. If you want open source code that you can adjust to your liking and you want to install/configure it on your client’s excess hardware, then there are many to choose from. However, if you prefer investing your resources only in productive test creation, then give LoadStorm a try.
TDD requires a testing tool that is fast and nimble. There isn’t time to waste. Coding/testing must be in short cycles. TDD iterations don’t allow for formal, comprehensive test plans. You need a tool that works like you do. A tool that was built by web developers that understand TDD because they live in a reality of iterative coding and testing. That’s LoadStorm.
Our software is offered as a service with no license fees, no hardware to buy, and no server installation. Since the only costs involved in using our solution is related to bandwidth for many virtual users, running tests for TDD are free. That’s correct: no cash, no money down, and no commitment.
We invite you to sign-up for a free Breeze account and see if LoadStorm helps you with your TDD project.
Don’t be like this test dummy!
